Awake
How long has it been?
All I wanted was escape
From the arrow on my skin
All I wanted was escape
From the peril I was in
Didn't want responsibility
I just wanted friends
I just ran away
Thought that later I could make amends
Gyatsu
He would have to understand me in the end
Right?
But that adventure led me to descend
It would be 100 years before I saw the light again
When I did it was a friendly face
Katara was her name
With her brother Sokka
Three of us we bonded right away
I had to go and see my brethren
And see what had became
Of the temple I was raised in
I'm sure they were okay
But as soon as we arrived
I knew that everything had changed
Everything that I had known was gone
Nothing was the same
That was when I saw him
Nothing left but his remains
From a fire bender battle
And then all I felt was Rage
(I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
Hah hah
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
Hah hah)
How could this happen?
All my people dead
And I could've made a difference
If that day I never fled
All these different emotions
Now parading through my head
How could I betray my people?
When they needed to be lead
With the power of the avatar
I'd repay the debt
I'd avenge my fallen people
And the memory they left
I would learn the different elements
And journey on a quest
And with those new developments
Unshackle the oppressed
Be the greatest that there ever was
Extinguish fire lord
And with all of us together
Then the balance is restored
Destiny is where I'm headed
Victory I'm going towards
And when I can control it
It will be the end of war
But before then
I just had to learn
I would travel to the different tribes
For knowledge that I yearned
Roku said it would be the end
When Sozin did return
So I sharpened my abilities
To ready for the burn
It would end with me arriving at the temple in the East
To unleash my inner chakra
Taught by guru man Patihik
He told me to release
That I would need to face fear
Let go of any guilt
And any shame based drear
Free myself of any baggage
For abandoning my family
Accept that I'm the avatar
And always how it had to be
Then he told me
Free myself of all illusions
And the nations we are one
And are strongest as a union
When we reached the final chakra
I was ready to pursue it
And that was when he told me
Give up what had made me human
He said give up all attachments
Had to happen in the end
I would need to let Katara go in order to ascend
(I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
Hah hah
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
Hah hah)
How could this happen?
This is how it ends?
And could all of this have been avoided if I never fled
But if I don't release
Then everybody's good as dead
How could I betray the people?
When they needed to be lead
With the power of the avatar
I could repay the debt
Could avenge my fallen people
And the memory they left
I have learned the different elements
And journeyed on a quest
So was all of that for nothing?
Naw I'll carry the oppressed
Be the greatest that there ever was
Extinguish fire lord
Bring the nations all together
Let the balance be restored
Destiny is where I'm heading
Victory I'm going towards
I'm the master of the elements
And ender of the war
I won't kill you
But you deserve it
So obsessed with power
Was it worth it?
The people that you led
They were scared
Fear doesn't motivate
Real loyalty you earn it
I'm giving you a sentence worse than death
I won't take your final breath
But your power it is worthless
And now I can finally say
That I now Aang have fulfilled my purpose
