The Awakening (Open Eyes, Closed Mouths)

Have they rid you of your speech
Have you grown tired of what you seek
but never find, always hiding behind
you're alibi, and it's always same
even in the old age

the story goes, as it's told
in many different kind of ways
will we ever give up the charade
open your eyes, and see
the light will never come

what's progress when it's all tradition
all talk of a new world, but you still
exceed my expectations, on how corrupt a world can be

and how easy you all profit of all the innocent minds

when you open up to different perspectives
it gives your brain a fighting chance,
to fucking think for yourselves

I have no cross to bear, only my flesh and bone
only flesh and bone.
