Based on events in the video game "Alan Wake"
Lyrics and music by Katt McConnell

lyrics

Truer words were never written than the ones on Cauldron Lake.
I know now that coming here was a terrible mistake.
We stepped into a game that we had no intent to play,
Now it’s up to you, my love, to try to find the way.
It began with a dream, but now nightmare holds us fast—
She’ll trap us in the story until the very last.
Never stop running, don’t believe what’s before your eyes
When evil masquerades behind the most unsuspected guise...

Wake up, wake up
There’s still time left to find me.
Wake up, wake up,
Break the darkness that binds me.
There’s terror in the night that only you can burn away,
And a path for us to both get back into the light of day,
But only if you wake
Wake up.

It swirls in vague uncertainty, the world beyond the deep,
Like shadows in the twilight, like a song you hear in sleep.
Yet somewhere in the rhythm of the play ‘twixt dark and light,
I sense you’re out there searching, and you won’t give up the fight.
You’re in the company of madmen, the ingenious, and deranged,
Chasing down the talent from which you feel estranged,
Yet everything that’s happened has come from words that are your own,
And your self-appointed editor won’t leave well enough alone.

(chorus)

The threads that bind we two into the story as it flows
Are dark with ink and blood, both, and the further that it goes,
You’ll learn the truth and find the scars even Zane could not erase,
And somehow, one way or another, it’ll all click into place.
It’s a puzzle you must solve to win and make the ending yours,
Wherein lies the key to lock or unlock certain doors.
Then when everything is said and done and day surpasses night,
Find the balance in the darkness so that I can find the light.

Wake up, wake up
Down the rabbit hole you’ll find me
Wake up, wake up
Don’t walk the road so blindly
Beset upon by nightmare, you’re the man of my dreams,
And I need you to fight for me, despite how hard it seems,
So please, Wake...
Wake up.
