lyrics

Fingers crossed
Mind is dead 
Fingers crossed 
Ready to forget 
There’s courage to survive this hell we spread
But all sails are set to drown

And you’re insisting on your right to look away

You’re the witness
We could clearly see
The mess we’re creating
We’re segregating

Wake up
We fail to see the need for sympathy
We look away
With fear we dig their graves
Now we are in a rush
We’re baiting those who fail to fit the norm
But it’s ourselves who fail to
Stand up and take back control

You’re the witness
We could clearly see
The mess we’re creating
We’re segregating
Reclaim the hatred
Our leaders have left
Light up the torches
Burn the flags that brought us death

Now burn the flags that
Brought us death

All sails are set to drown

You’re the witness
We could clearly see
The mess we’re creating
We’re segregating
Reclaim the hatred
Our leaders have left
Light up the torches 
Burn the flags that brought us death

That brought us death
