[Intro: Andrea Ferro]
[?]

[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)
