Sister Awake Lyrics
when the winter was over
she returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light
she remembered the beauty
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light
i am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes...
sister walk through these fields of delight
but I want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake
when this beautiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake
and you'll look to the heavens above
and taste it's deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake
and you'll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake
awake
she returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes...
but I want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake
and taste it's deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake
awake

Sounds to me like it's a song he's singing to Mother Earth about waking up at the end of the winter.
This is the song that defines them. Brilliant.
I agree, it really does define them. It's a refreshing song, feels like regaining energy after a long winter.
beautiful! it sounds like getting a second chance after something bad happens. being awakened after a long period of depression or sadness. starting over.
For me this song yes, is about coming through winter, and into spring. It's also about moving beyond distraction, addiction, loss, and to a place where she is at peace with herself, aware of what's around her, what's happened to her, but steady grounded in her own skin.
