I see
So passes the free world Of today
With peoples lives they play
I don't know which way to go
I just don't know
How the would will be
No one can see
Who is important who is not
Who shall slip through the cracks and rot
Legal hands are bound
No hope found
Trying to last till the finale round
Hate your neighbor
Children holding a sabor
Lost in the world today
With words they play.
Visions of tomorrow
In the world, a great sorrow
Such a sin
A war in which no one can win
Human kind is on the verge
A world of hate shall emerge
I fear we are going the wrong way
Says the news today
With peoples hate they play
Guiding us to the brink
As humanity starts to sink
No trust
For power they lust
Guiding us down a one way street
Feel the heat
Fear of what is to come
Where are you from
Are you human still
Hearts pay the bill
As love lies in the dust
Compassion starts to rust
So confused of the world I see
Dreaming of how it used to be
When the world was free
Fearing this change
Seems so strange
Closing my eyes
Time flys
I see a tomorrow I don't want
The visions does haunt
Taunt
Why do I see
What will come to be
If there is nothing I can do
To make this not come true
Tears me apart
Breaks my heart
I don't wish to see
How the world shall come to be
It's killing me.
