Don't Look Back

Open your eyes
And don't be surprised
One final time
The horizon's blurred line
As it fades to black
Keep running and look ahead
Broken cloud fell into our bed
Fireworks flare into the sky
But don't look behind
Jackboots and the sound of guns
Nothing new underneath the sun
Run if you want to survive
Open your eyes
The tears in their eyes
As they realize
Every single lie
They swallowed with pride
Then, comes the fall
With the crash of a terrible sound
The walls around brought down to the ground
An empire rose and an empire fell
Collapsed down the wishing well
The people blind, they could not see
They reached out to eternity
God of the people, the voice it speaks
"This day we've won our victory"
The door is closing, run for your life
There is nothing left on this side
Just chains of bondage, death, and despair
There is nothing there
So, keep running until you drop
Got no choice, you cannot stop
No mercy from hearts of stone
The executioner's throne
