Lyrics
(Can you hear the tears?)
Expressing a question about the ability to perceive emotional distress.
Have you ever seen the sky so clear in the middle of the night?
Reflecting on a remarkably clear night sky and questioning its authenticity.
Is it smoke and mirrors?

Observing commonality in human suffering, blending love and misery.
Sew every seed of change for you and me

They make all the rules and they prey on the mindless
Highlighting an oppressive authority making and exploiting rules.
We're thinking in secret and moving in silence
Describing a secretive and silent approach to resistance or rebellion.
Collective conscious within all this violence
Noting a shared consciousness amidst a violent environment.

Expressing hope for victory in a time of free thinking and encouraging solidarity.
(Be Free) Just look at how we bleed. (Be Free) Only then you'll see
Encouraging freedom, linking bleeding to understanding and liberation.
Only then you'll see. We'll claim our victory
