What Sleeps In This Land Lyrics

What sleeps in this land

Testament to an age of terror and wonder

Awaiting resurrection

By the hands of its last disciples

Who by now do not understand

What sleeps in this land

What sleeps in this land

Remnant of what was once divinity

A presence eternal

Benevolent origin of kindness

Before the crisis that led to its bitter end

What sleeps in this land

Buried and forgotten

As the world went up in flames

With its body long since rotten

Only anguish remains

Just a specter of a past

That did not treat it kindly

Goodwill didn't last

They tormented it blindly

When it fell on this land

It was seen as an omen

A gift from the gods

The salvation they sent

For the famine ran rampant

There was death at each door

The plague tore through this land

Divided by war

Now we must pay for what they have done

Return the kindness and repent one by one

This is our domain and we make amends

Here and now, if we wake

What sleeps in this land

We're the only ones who know

What sleeps in this land

It is time to reunite with

What sleeps in this land

What sleeps in this land

About to awaken

And see its resurrection

Finally they will understand

What sleeps in this land

We're the only ones who know

What sleeps in this land

This is our domain and we make amends

Here and now, if we wake

What sleeps in this land
