Sleepless Empire Lyrics


[Verse 1: Andrea Ferro]

We're dreaming with open eyes

In a state of disarray

We are like kings locked in a cage

Waiting for salvation that will never come

There is no forever, we will be replaced

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Suspended without motion

A syndrome of sedation

Lost in a sleepless empire

It's the infinite cycle

Where past and future are aligned

In a sleepless empire

[Verse 2: Andrea Ferro]

We're caught up in the rapture

Seduced by short term gains

We only praise false gods

We lack common sense and just live for the day

There is no forever, we are not afraid

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Suspended without motion

A syndrome of sedation

Lost in a sleepless empire

It's the infinite cycle

Where past and future are aligned

In a sleepless empire

[Bridge: Cristina Scabbia]

Are we algorithms or just an obsolete creation

Enslaved in a world that is eroding?

Living in denial

We're logged in with the same old pattern

An easy code to be remembered

[Refrain: Andrea Ferro]

[?]

This is a sleepless empire

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Suspended without motion

A syndrome of sedation

Lost in a sleepless empire

It's the infinite cycle

Where past and future are aligned

In a sleepless empire

[Outro: Andrea Ferro & Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Aeterna insania

Ignifer cruciatus (Neurotic empire)

Aeterna insania

Ignifer cruciatus

Perpetua insomnia

Ignifer cruciatus (We're tossing the dice)

Perpetua insomnia

Tormentum humanum (To rule the sleepless empire)
