Awake! continues the story begun in Track 1, by imagining the horror experienced by Adam and Eve when they realized they had sinned against God.

lyrics

What is this darkness that I see?
It's everywhere
How did it creep up on me?
I'm so scared
Something new inside of me
Is laid bare
All this new depravity
Is right there

What are those footsteps in the Garden?
They're drawing near
I can't bear to face my Father
He's almost here
Why do I even bother?
He sees so clear
I can't imagine any pardon
I want to disappear

+:::+Awake O sleeper
Your life is now turned death
The sun won't shine on you
Tragic dreamer
Gasping for breath
The sun won't rise for you

The life that I once knew
The holy, blessed fruit
Of light has been, by shadows, dimmed
Little lambs upon the alter
Dressed for me by my Father
To clothe me in my sin
