Open Up Your Eyes

You see him standing proud
You see him shouting at the crowd
His words crawl in your head
But their true meaning stays unsaid
You’ll be surprised what he can do
Then it’s too late to choose anew
So take my hand
Take a stand
Don’t let these thoughts get in your head
Take my hand
Take a stand
Cause what you see is what you get
Open up your eyes now
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes now
Open up your eyes
You see them march with pride
You see they need no longer hide
Why don’t you realize
That you're the reason for their rise
Don’t be surprised what they could do
Now it’s too late to play the fool
So take my hand
Take a stand
Don’t let these thoughts get in your head
Take my hand
Take a stand
Cause what you see is what you get
Open up your eyes now
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes now
Open up your eyes
Why are you too blind to see
That hate and fear will always be
Fertile ground for blatant lies
Beware and open up your eyes
Your eyes

You drown in your sea of lights
You break from your own glue
You smile at your ignorance
You rise anew
You dream while you’re wide awake
You fade into blazing lights
You choke on dead hands long passed
You black your whites
You black your whites
Breaking silence silently
Stopping violence violently
Doesn’t matter what you do
Still I fall for you
Breaking silence violently
Stopping violence silently
Doesn’t matter what you do
Still I fall for you
I know that this place is gonna keep me in her womb
I know that this place is gonna be my darkest tomb
I know that this place is gonna break me when I bend
I know that this place is gonna choke me in the end
I know that this place is gonna keep me in her womb
I know that this place is gonna be my darkest tomb
I know that this place is gonna break me when I bend
I know I will stay with you until the very end
I know that that you are gonna keep me in your womb
I know that that you are gonna be my darkest tomb
I know that that you are gonna break me when I bend
I know in the end

In Your Head
04:30

Somebody’s talking behind your back
You turn around but no one’s there
There is no doubt that you’re on your own
Still voices come from everywhere
All that emotion flooding your head
You start to shiver and shake
The human mind is a fragile thing
Bend it too far and it will break
It’s way too much for one to take
You need a break, remember it’s all
Woah yeah – in your head
Woah yeah – in your head
Think back how everything began
Seems like a whisper in your ear
You’ve seen it coming for many years
Time has run out, at last it’s here
You wonder what has happened to you
All of your life you’ve feared this day
Woah yeah – in your head
Woah yeah – in your head
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
You turn around, no one’s there
Turn around
Woah yeah – in your head
Woah yeah – in your head (remember it’s all)
Woah yeah – in your head
Woah yeah – in your head

Wills It Not

Radicals around the globe
Institutions, uniform or robe
Zealots send your boys through hell
Through love or war they will serve you well
Rapists
Sexists
Chauvinists
(No - God wills it not)
Racists
Fascists
Terrorists
(No - God wills it not)
Believers ain’t the ones to blame
Agitators sell salvation and fame
Crescent moon and holy cross
Prophets profit from human loss
Rapists
Sexists
Chauvinists
(No - God wills it not)
Racists
Fascists
Terrorists
(No - God wills it not)
It’s been the same throughout our history
The human race ain’t gonna learn
As long as we fight for fanatics
Religious symbols are gonna burn
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not
No – God wills it not

What's In It For You
07:36
|

Only bloodshed has remained
Made the same mistakes again
Pen and paper to the test
Try to give your best
It’s just frustration and misery
Standing there with you not listening
But I know that you don’t care
Wasting time walking on air
What’s in it for you?
The gain you’re going through
What’s in it for you?
Abilities learnt but not applied
Ignorance followed by denial
Make the same mistakes again
Bloodshed will remain
It’s just frustration and misery
Standing there with you not listening
But I know that you don’t care
Wasting my time better beware
What’s in it for you?
The pain you’re going through
What’s in it for you?
It’s just frustration and misery
Standing there with you not listening
But I know that it’s not fair
Stealing my time but I don’t care
But what’s in it for you?
The pain you’re going through
What’s in it for you?
The pain you’re going through
What’s in it for you?
The pain you’re going through
What’s in it for you?
The pain you’re going through

Where have you gone?
Just disappeared without a trace
The world starts to turn
Sensations lost to time and space
Colourful shapes
Coming from honest reverence
All these nightmares
Hiding behind sweet innocence
In liquid fire
The sky is crying with a grin
Waves crashing down
Drowning in waters from within
Lying awake
The demon rears its ugly face
Come with me now
I’ll take you to a safer place
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
There’s no need to be …
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
No need to be afraid now
There’s no need to be afraid

Ashes To Ashes
05:52

If love had a name
It once had yours
If love was a game
You lifted the scores
If love was a fire
You were the spark
Your love was a pyre
Consuming the dark
The embers are burning down low
The heat leaves a stain
The fire once strong has gone out
Ashes will remain
Ashes will remain
If love was to part
I broke the bond
Our love broke apart
There’s no beyond
The embers are burning down low
The heat leaves a stain
The fire once strong has gone out
Just ashes will remain
Ashes to ashes again
The embers are burning down low
The heat leaves a stain
The fire once strong has gone out
Ashes will remain
Ashes will remain
Ashes ease the pain
Ashes to ashes again
Our love found an end
Ashes remain
No need to pretend
It’s all the same
The embers burned out
There’s no more pain
The fire’s long gone
Ashes to ashes again
