Lyrics for Great Awakening as interpreted by RyanGilr0y

Great Awakening Lyrics
As I watch you doze away
You slept through minutes and hours and days
Your breath becomes quiet and still
So still
I'll wake you from your bed
The night is young and the sky overhead
Will burn but not for long
So here's your song
Here's my lullaby
Designed to wake you up
I'll conduct an orchestra
Of crickets and mice to squeak through the night
Until the world awakes as one
And no one will be afraid
Of the monsters and goyles that lurk in the way
And I can feed this world, can feast
Here's my lullaby
Designed to wake you up
Don't you close your eyes
The world has sealed them shut again
Do you wanna be sung sleep
I prefer to slaughter the sheep
You count each night it seems
And waste a thousand dreams
Here's my lullaby
Designed to wake you up
Don't you close your eyes
The world has sealed them shut
This is the great awakening

of course max has no intention of this song having anything to do with the historical great awakening, he is simply using it as a "pun" because he doesn't want this girl he loves to fall asleep. so he is trying to keep her awake, using a sweet "lullaby" to do the trick.

yea me too i heard idotg before this song....i cant believe more people havent commented on this song...im gonna say right now its my favorite to play and it'll probably end up being one of my all time top five favorite say anything tracks. i love the guitars and i love the way he rocks out when he's singing about waking her up and then he sings the second part soft. this song kicks ass.

Must say, I do love this song. It's tied for my favorite song by Say Anything, along with A Walk Through Hell.

The only gripe I have is... wtf is a Goyle. Like.. Gargoyle?

To me this song isn't about a girl. I think of it more as a song to all the people who sleep walk their way through life
("As I watch you doze away. You slept through minutes and hours and days", and "Here's my lullaby, designed to wake you up. Don't you close your eyes. The world has sealed them shut again. So you wanna be sung sleep?I prefer to slaughter the sheep you count each night it seems and waste a thousand dreams"), a call for them to open their eyes because it's over too soon (The night is young and the sky overhead . Will burn but not for long).
