lyrics

Daily…the world is changing
Slowly…the beast that feeds upon our weakness is advancing
Have we nothing more to offer than our silent tears?
For silence is consent

Easy…to turn our backs now
Knowing…that all we need is to be forceful and attack now
Have we nothing more to offer than our silent tears?
For silence is consent

Wipe the sleep
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Wipe the sleep
Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Lend a hand – life is passing you by
Take a stand – life is passing you by
Hear the cry but don’t weep
Wipe the sleep, wipe the sleep
Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Somewhere…a man is dying
Somehow you can understand what this event is underlying
And that this has more to do with you than first appears
But silence is consent
