Wake the World for Me

[extrapenguin]

I realized I should probably port over the fanmix for The Expanse that I made for galaxyofroses for ficinabox, so, here it is. (AO3)

YouTube playlist

Somewhere, there's a life that dreams of me


1. Epica: Abyss of Time - Countdown to Singularity

In the beginning there was a timeless, space-less, nothingness
And into that nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading
So ended the Void

2. Idyllia: Mare Cognitum
instrumental


3. Unleash the Archers: Waking Dream

Wandering a waking dream while reaching for the light
As the day falls over into night
Centuries like flowing streams as years go rushing by
Waiting in the dark for afterlife

4. Xandria: The Wonders Still Awaiting

You will guide my way back from here
Where I lost my old dream
Come, you whisper silently into my ears

5. Blackbriar: The Séance

It is like I am trying to speak to you
Through a spirit trumpet
My voice, nothing more than a vague whisper
Too indistinct
It makes you wonder, wonder
If it was just the wind

6. Oryad: Blood

It knows, but it won’t tell me—
Where are you?
Where are you?
In the mist of dreams I sense you,
Damp on my skin, absorbed like tears
I need you, stay in my blood.
I am you, we are one.

7. Sirenia: Nos Heures Sombres

Toi, viens avec moi avant que la
Nuit ne voit ses voiles qui se déchirent
Toi, viens près de moi
Que nos ailes se déploient juste avant que l'on chavire

(translation)


8. Kamelot: Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)

Give the world to me
A wasteland or a monarchy

9. Empress: Beyond the Sleep

Someone please wake the dreamers
So they may silence the noise
Leaving behind chaos in their absence
Dashing the hopes of knowing what’s beyond the sleep

10. Delain: Masters of Destiny

I am the dreamer
I roll the dice and I'm alive
My hands aren't tied
We are the dreamers
We roll the dice, we're alive
We'll always be
Masters of destiny

11. Oryad: The Path, pt. II

When the circle closes in,
I press my wings firmly out,
With burned intent.
I am unraveling, untying time.
To the void that sings to me,
I toss the line.
