Open Your Eyes

Dead trees on the ground, I don't hear a bird singing
This crushing heat liquefies my brain,
I cannot breathe, I only feel despair
Please, somebody get me out of this nightmare

Open your eyes, realize
What we've done, get up now
Open your mind, don't be blind
It's time to hurry, so get the fuck up now

So, get the fuck up now

We've defiled our land, our home, our future
We've turned a paradise into a failure
This gift, this chance, we threw it in the bin
Just like a parasite we've destroyed everything

Everything

Open your eyes, realize
What we've done, get up now
Open your mind, don't be blind
It's time to hurry, so get the fuck up now
Now!

How can we be proud of ourselves?
We should be ashamed
We are the poison of the world, we've just failed
We lived our lives, setting the Earth on fire
We commit suicide by staining our water

We are a shame, we are a disgrace
We are to blame, the human race

Fuck the human race

Open your eyes, realize
What we've done, get up now
Open your mind, don't be blind
It's time to hurry, so get up now
Realize
Don't be blind
So, get the fuck up now!
