Awakenings Lyrics by Symphony X

The Odyssey

2002

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Needless to say
Another day has passed away
Yet everything, and nothing, has changed
Awake I lie
My thoughts get lost up in the sky
Needless to say, nothing will change
Maybe a mystic with fortunes to tell
Surrender my coin at the old wishing well
Maybe the stars will align in the night
To show me the path that is right, oh oh
[Instrumental Break/Solos]
[Verse 2]
Would've been's and could've been's
They waste my days away
The colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray
So many paths of promise
Indecision poisons my mind
If only I had seen the signs, so blind
Oh, so blind
[Bridge]
Oh oh
Yet I must journey on
On and on
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
A haunting vision torments me
It smothers and steals my dreams
I see an old man in the mirror
Cold and bitter starring back at me
[Chorus]
Here I am
At the crossing of life I stand
On my own
Looking down the road
Hear my cry
Answer me
Still I'm searching
Yet the truth is unknown
Though the night is cold
I walk the road alone
[Instrumental Break/Solos]
[Chorus]
Here I am
At the crossing of life I stand
On my own
Looking down the road
Hear my cry
Answer me
Still I'm searching
Yet the truth is unknown
Though the night is cold
I walk the road alone
[Outro]
Yes I walk
I walk the road alone
