Song title Awakened
Lyrics by S.Michaels (Michael Morales) (Music by its original author)

once, i stood in the top of the world
and saw everything from faces and sharing
to the despots killing, not even caring.
then a false step from over confidence
made me tumble down to the very world i created 
only then could i truly open my eyes
on see life for what it truly ever was
only then could i see my shadow
cast... a nightmare on everything i ever cared for
and this shadow is the inner me, full of angels and demons
battling for the grounds on which to prosper
and there's no churches nor gospels that could stop them
only the soft silence of my choice now reflected on my actions
willingly molded into the very fruits of labor and passion
then my eyes begging to blink and then stutter
for in the mirror i see not my reflection but this other.
and im not sure if this face is from an angel
or something even grater,
then i struggle with my fleeting sanity ever moving
and then my world comes down crashing
and i embrace it no longer shaken but now patient
crying trembling and shaken i i now finally find my self truly awakened.
