<heard on a radio>
"... Trideo broadcast of the concert is availiable on chanel 101, Seattle
Independant, or live at the Colluseum starting at six.  Tickets are twenty
nuyen for the live performance or ten for trid-watchers.

"But now, here is Duke's latest, 'Awake Me', only on KTAC, Radio Seattle 96."
...

	A thousand years of waiting
	A thousand more of hope
	Five thousand years of watching
	My culture burned in flames

	And from that restless slumber
	The time has came to pass
	To build what once had fallen
	To take our rightful names!

	But suffer has not ended
	The chain lies incomplete
	Corruption has so blighted
	What was meant to be!

	Awake me!
		Take me!
	Change me!
		Break me!
	After five thousand years I can take no more
	The suffering can be no worse than it was before...

	...

	An hour waiting...
	A minute of grief...
	A culture in ruins
	And living in vain

	A city of exiles
	Lies close to reward
	A country so blinded
	To her own kindred's pain

	Awaken the cities
	Heal all the lands
	Give sight to the blinded
	The time is at hand

	Awake me!
		Take me!
	Change me!
		Break me!
	After five thousand years I can take no more
	The suffering can be no worse than it was before...
	Than it was before...
	Before...
