about

This is a song against people who keep on building walls... concrete walls to keep us in check, walls in our heads and our hearts to keep us apart… Let’s tear the wall down!

lyrics

There is a tide pushing you ashore
You‘re in a never-ending story of things we knew before
But now, what do you stand for

There is a fire feeding on your soul
There is a chance you may be daunted by the wall
I know, you‘re out of control

There is a storm raging in your eyes
Say, where‘s your love when you get lost in anger, fear and lies
And why are you so sure that you‘re right

You‘re in the lands of never-ending obscurity
You‘re getting lost in all-too-easy adversity
Now I can see why you don‘t like me

Every single day our minds get one step closer to the wall
But this won‘t be the end for us at all

There is a tide pushing you ashore
We‘re in a never-ending story of things we knew before
But now, what do you stand for

Well, look around. The fever‘s spreading out
Those people run, run, run their heads against a cloud
But now we‘re gonna tear the wall down

Every single day our minds get one step closer to the wall
But this won‘t be the end for us at all
