CREDITS Directed and edited by Niclas Brinkmann Recorded and mixed by Niclas Brinkmann at Arrows In The Attic Studio Mastered by Lennart Jeschke at studioexport LYRICS Take a step back analyze the scenery We’re all gears in a warfare machinery Born to hate and designed to follow Nothing but dead shells spineless and hollow We are the monsters under our children’s beds A flawless elite with a wall in our head Tooth for tooth, eye for eye The straight path to world’s decline We see one side or the other But we never see what’s under the cover Of the black and white box that we’re living in Because we’d rather feel hate than feeling nothing Take a step back Take a look at this mess, this eternal game of chess Let’s raise a new flag One above all, painted in all the pretty colours that exist People are dying and children are crying we’re standing aside Because we’re apathetic Houses are burning, a horror returning we’re closing our eyes We don’t wanna see, we don’t wanne see, no Guns to be fired at borders barbwired, we’re drawing a line Because we need an enemy Hearts to be broken and words to be spoken we’re choosing a side But there’s not just black and white We are volcanoes but we pretend control A ruffled mind trapped in a childish soul We can’t retain, we can’t behave But we can fight, fight, fight and always flow with the waves We read one page or another But we never know the story of each other So don’t close your mind and be kind Put up a smile because you never know who you might find People are dying and children are crying we’re standing aside Because we’re apathetic! Houses are burning, a horror returning we’re closing our eyes We don’t wanna see, we don’t wanne see, no! Guns to be fired at borders barbwired, we’re drawing a line Because we need an enemy Hearts to be broken and words to be spoken we’re choosing a side But there’s not just black and white Take a step back analyze the scenery We’re all gears in a warfare machinery Born to hate and designed to follow Nothing but dead shells spineless and hollow
