Open your eyes, take a look around,
there's an ill-boding wind, blowing into your face
You can sense it
The weak are swept away,
insignificance, lying on the side of a street
Indifference, passed by
Open you eyes, awake from you dreams,
this is the only way
Open your eyes, awake from your dreams,
only this is the way, only way
Enveloped by your myopic dreams,
make up your mind and prepare yourself
have you taken your stance?
No second chance
You've made your decision, despite derision
Who believes in you, who believes in me,
I believe in me
Don't stand still, open your mind,
it's all right, you will find
Come on this is the way
Your path on dusty streets
Open you eyes, awake from your dreams
this is the only way
Open your eyes, awake from your dreams
Who believes in you, who believes in me,
I believe in me
