The Sleeper has Awoken!

00:38 most relevant to most of us here.

"Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles.
Victim of your folly."

To Empire 00:51:

"He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing"
