Waiting for the time to arrive For me to reclaim my throne In the shadows of my tomb I will rest and I will wait My departure will come soon The stars are controlling my faith Here inside I find my peace I am safe from light and sound All my thoughts are mine to keep Lying here under the ground Outside the storm is raging on Like the storm I come and go I can tell my time will come When or where I still don't know I've been waiting Waiting for the dawn Meditating, learning more I've been waiting Waiting for the dawn Meditating, learning more I've been waiting Waiting for the dawn Levitating above the floor **************************************************
