The Awakening Lyrics
The universe frozen in the capsule of memory
Great secrets buried deep in the core of earth
Concealed from all consciousness
And time floated away in its infinite vortex
All was still and quiet
Waiting, waiting and waiting
Then there was a gasp of wind
Leaves ruffled eerily
Birds chirped in fear
Something was stirring in the bosom of earth
Things long concealed were about to be revealed
Wakati umefika
Yatangaza! Jidhihirishe!
Wake Mwenyewe
Wake Mwenyewe
Wake Mwenyewe
And so it begins
The awakening of a melody
The dawn of a revolution
The advent of a movement
Sprouting from the dark suburbs of memory and consciousness
Into the light of the people
One note at a time
One melody at a time
One song at a time
[Instrumental Continues To Play In The Background]
About
Dark Suburb is an Afro Rock Band caught between the worlds of the seen and the unseen; the living and the dead. They have been invoked back to life by a priest disenchanted with the current state of the music industry. So he travels to the underworld to recruit the best singer, drummer, guitarist and pianist to form a great band for the ages. But alas! Before the band can make a transition to the land of the living, they must be accepted by the living. The more they are loved, the more they will be revealed. They draw their breath, their form, their strength from the vitality of the living. And so for now Dark Suburb is an apparition, their music echoing from the shadows. The more they are loved, the more they will be revealed.
