I see the signs of a corrupt nation Living off the blood of humanity The poor got nothing and nowhere to run And the rich got more than they know What to do with Yeah, don’t you see the signs? Got our homeless on the park bench With nowhere to go Yeah, don’t you see the signs? There’s people suffering everywhere And no one seems to care Yeah, don’t you see the signs? We got our children begging for money With no food to eat Yes, it’s true! I can’t believe it (no!) I can’t believe it I can’t believe The signs I see (no!) I won’t receive it (no!) I won’t receive it (no!) We go to end the misery I see the signs everywhere I look yeah People try to escape through material game I look around at society I can’t stand what I see Stand up, stand up and fight Don’t be afraid, freedom’s your right Revolution set yourself free This world belongs to you and me

God damn alarms are ringing in my head Wake up world or we're all gonna wind up dead Look around I see the hate and the greed Lifestyles of the rich still people dying in need Wake up world things are gettin' serious I'm looking at the future and it don't look too good for us If we don't take the situation at hand And spread a message of peace all throughout the land Cause I'm looking through the eyes of tomorrow And all I see is misery and sorrow Desperation and despair everywhere Reactions of a system that just don't care Greedy politicians leading people astray They just want more money they don't care what it takes Polluting the earth destroying the environment Building bombs for war and killing the innocent My mind's in a rage they got me living like an animal They're feeding off human lives just like cannibals Killing the planet and everything on it With their chemical waste dumps and nuclear power plants Our tax dollars are killing people overseas Still people dying at home but no one hears their pleas It's time we the people take their power away We can't let this madness go on another day Keep the youth dumb and numb to the state they're in Keep 'em fighting each other selling crack, coke, and heroin Mind controlling the masses with TV and the media What they let you hear don't mean you're free you know Revolution in the mind but the body must follow Cause I'm looking at the future through the eyes of tomorrow Yeah Take a look at what they've done How can we let this madness go on Through the eyes of tomorrow its very clear No turning back is we don't start right here Must stand up, know we must stand up Don't want their dying world of injustice and pollution We got a solution time for revolution Must pave the way for a brighter day They won't give it we gotta take it Our lives are at stake A barren wasteland is the price we'll pay if we don't stand up and fight for the world today Must stand up, know we must stand up You see them cutting down all the trees Poisoning the air, the land, and seas Destroying the planet and all that it's worth Just for their moments of pleasure on earth Their hunger for power would be all our end If we don't stand up and fight now my friends Take a look at what they've done How can we let this madness go on Through the eyes of tomorrow it's so very clear There'll be no turning back if we don't start right here Here we go time and time again The rich man keeping the poor man in line again You must be blind cause you keep on following Them and their system straight to you grave Your minds in a cage you're just another slave To false values and false ideals Peace of mind so hard to find They got us living on the edge of such coptic times We need a planet without war or greed Healthy environment clean air to breathe Equal opportunity and justice for all United we stand or divided we fall

Walking alone in the cold dark night Got a chill in my bones no relief's in sight So much time spent with revenge as a thought In this life alone so many wars I've fought Oh leave what you know behind I will take you Beyond the limits of your mind So take a trip with me To the other side of madness So close to the edge The other side is madness This ain't no fantasy The other side is calling me So take a trip with me Tell me if you think you really dare Try to hold on just for sanity's sake So many so-called friends turned out to be fake You better hope that there's a better way Than me as the hunter cause you know you're the prey Oh leave what you know behind I will take you Beyond the limits of your mind So take a trip with me To the other side of madness So close to the edge The other side is madness This ain't no fantasy The other side is calling me So take a trip with me Tell me if you think you really dare Come on yeah I'll take you there The place where your nightmares live Pain and fear is everywhere You get down on your knees and you start to pray You know you might never see the light of day Oh god oh god what you gonna do There ain't no running away when you're calling is due Oh I've gone over the line Hatred is taking over my rage is making me blind Oh I want to live in peace But there are those Who would make the mistake Of invoking the demons in me You get down on your knees and you start to pray You know you might never see the light of day Oh god oh god there's nothing you can do All of your worst nightmares are coming true When I look up into the sky I ask no forgiveness for we all have to die But one thing that I know Is I came to take your soul Oh yeah Days and nights of frustration Have taken their toll The blood is boiling in my veins I'm out of control

A divided nation in these times of hate So much racial tension say it's not too late Won't you please god save us all Won't you please god save us all See the prophecies of things to come Can the human race exist as one Or the fire of disaster be the final doom All in its path it will consume - fight back Our happiness will turn to sorrow Will we live to see tomorrow? Put the power of evil back in line Won't be crucified no not this time fuck no Fight back for all See where you stand know who you are In your heart Yeah

Quest-searching for the answers Seek-the meaning of your life Truth-in knowing life's perfection Now-as infinite as time Be free from your mind-and travel through time See what you'll find-fly free The essence of true living Loving-life and all its worth Peace-and transcendental knowledge Knowing-heaven 's here on earth Sight beyond sight Peace from inside Beyond all time Now you see the truth is just a little bit closer Closer than you ever guessed Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer With every single breath You see the truth is just a little bit closer closer than you ever guessed Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer With every single breath

Victims of forgotten wars Forgotten lives No one ever hears them cry no Fallen soldiers under crimson sky No one ever wonders why The tanks come rolling in You know they just can't win no The politician lies Innocent people die A mother watches as her baby dies A soldier starts to wonder why Look up into the sky Hear the bullets fly Don't feel the horror in their hearts As bullets tear their lives apart Bodies burning in the madness Can you still believe their lies? Look around at the pain and the chaos Smell the corpses putrify For some so called righteous cause So many victims die For the gains of the rich So many poor must die No feelings for the pained Drowning in pools of blood Never hear the mother's screams Uncovering her dead child's limbs in the mud Is a heroes welcome received When he returns from war Or just the pain and confusion Of a guilt that he can't ignore Unleashed weapons of destruction Slaughtering the innocent overseas A soldier comes back half a man Begging for handouts on his knees Oh those medals don't mean nothing To you anymore It was all for some rich man's gain Now ask yourself what for Sticks a needle in his arm To help him ease the pain Still hearing the screams of his dying friends He searches for a vain Mother stares out in the dark Still remembers her baby's smile Calling out her child's name Living in total denial The pain has reached both shores now The system stays the same Don't you see that we're just pawns To their power games Oh we won't take it won't be victims Of their war No we won't take it what have they Got us fighting for? We're just the victims of their war We're all the victims of their war

This track is instrumental.
Got to find a solution To the battle raging in my heart Timelessness it seems Has no place in the movement That we all must know Nothing seems too clear Illusions seem so permanent When you doubt or think you're in control You have the key to free the knowledge The knowledge that was with you all along Set it free then you'll see We've forgotten truth and what we're living for Forgotten answers You know it's not as simple as it seems So now through great revelations Wisdom that will wake us from our dreams I feel the conflict that exists within me It's something that I can't control Many other souls have battled in these realms before me Always been a struggle in my heart to be free Looked so far Where else could I go? Had to come to the answers That's all I know
