The Lost Theatre is a compelling and beautifully crafted addition to The Awakening’s catalogue!

There are dreams sunk beneath
Resting on an ancient reef
With no body and soul
That your faith could conceive
The riddle of our lives
Ruins carried out to sea
Did we catch a glimpse of something out of reach
When the waves returned?

The archaeology revealed your name
Maps for unknown places where your soul began
Excavating skeletons within the sands
Femur bones let go in caves of origin

This comfortless coldness
Is weighing me down
To the earth
May I belong to heaven
Before the devil knows that I am gone

Tie fast the ropes
To the vessel where I stand
Our hopes start to implode
When an absence takes hold
I tried to summon strength
When it's hard to raise up
But we've been out on this limb far from the edge
And I can't look down
