Open Your Eyes
Open your eyes and look around you.
Doesn't this horror scare you?
People destroy each other
to achieve their dreams.
Brother turns his back on brother,
man has become a wolf to man,
around us only lies and wars,
no more laughter, silence remains.
Prophets offer us a false salvation,
without them we face a certain end,
this world is a world of destruction,
so pay your last respects to it.
