Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer Lyrics

Take hold
Design this world

Wake up

Free fall unto this amalgamation
Freed from the tether of the cursed flesh
Enter a dominion of inquiry

Embellish the continuum condition, tow the line
Awaken from mortality, the sleeper inside

You fell far from grace
Take hold of the dreamscape
Misplaced within the emotion
A parallel shift, a world in slow motion
Fall now in place
This world will never be
Face-to-face with death and life relative to the eye
This is the world inside your mind

Illusions of realms, disguised
Smoke and mirrors, tuning the inner eye
The link, the infinite lies within the dreamscape

Open your mind, let it consume your flesh
Dissolve within the infinite
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of all their nightmares
Face your duality
Let go and fall
Into a dream

Celestial manifestations sensate within your line
Welcome a new god, the unconscious prime
Transcending

You fell far from grace
Take hold of the dreamscape
Misplaced within the emotion
A parallel shift, a world in slow motion
Fall now in place
This world will never be
Face to face with death and life relative to the eye
This is the world inside your mind

Illusions of realms, disguised
Smoke and mirrors, tuning the inner eye
The link, the infinite lies within the dreamscape

Witness a world forever changing
Where restless minds idle in creation
Don't look back, don't turn away
Embrace your new reality and feel the world slow down
Frozen in a world in slow motion
Memories twist into
Anonymity, cloaked familiarity
As the dream begins taking shape into metaphysical delineation within
Fall into a dream

Welcome this blessing and fall into lucidity
Like clay in the mud sculpting the plunge
Embracing the world and becoming the one
The architect, benevolent
Accepting the material world as enslavement
A fetter, a servant
But here in this place you are attunement

Welcome back
Welcome back, O' sleeping dreamer

Embrace the fall

What did Lorna Shore say about "Welcome Back, O' Sleeping Dreamer"?
Genius Answer

Will Ramos:

There’s a narrator explaining the potential of dreams and lucidity, the opportunity for exploration of the infinite, and a deeper dive into the human psyche. The whole song is about falling into this place that feels familiar, but it’s somehow not familiar at the same time. It’s a concept album, so this is the first chapter.
