Open Your Eyes Lyrics
Open your eyes
To the shining sun and the blue skies
Open your eyes
Have a bite of the moon
O word Do not hide in your cocoon
Not a word… and maybe not a pain
But the pain grew
And the silence, I knew, was all in vain
In the beginning was the Word
But the Word was made Taboo
Now taboos rule the world
With promises they woo
So is it the difference, indifference
That sows the seeds of ignorance
That feeds oblivion, silence
Open your eyes
To the shining sun and the blue skies
Open your eyes
Have a bite of the moon
O word Do not hide in your cocoon
Not a word… and maybe not a pain
But the pain grew
And the silence, I knew, was all in vain
In the end was silence
And silence fed the taboo
Now taboos lead the dance
And rock and roll you
Have memories shut their doors to the past?
Do hearts fake ignorance against martyr?
Do ears spit back out all that they hear?
Open your eyes
To the shining sun and the blue skies
Open your eyes
Have a bite of the moon
O word Do not hide in your cocoon
Little secrets that empower the mighty few
Persuading us that it’s peace of mind we choose
And we’re brainwashed to think there are truths we can’t hold
We wake up to realise power feeds on the untold
