[Intro]
"Some people call them terrorists
These boys have simply been misguided"
[Chorus: Raymond Watts & En Esch]
I tried to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire
I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?
[Verse 1: Sascha Konietzko]
Day after day, innocent people are being deported
Interrogated and tortured, put through the third degree
Fundamentalist forces are undermining the integrity
Of liberal and democratic political structures
Radical anarchists, fascists and terrorists
Are responsible for the violence
[Chorus: Raymond Watts & En Esch]
I tried to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire
I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?
[Verse 2: Sascha Konietzko]
Our societies are saturated with bloodlust
Sensationalism and violence
As a result of alienation from oneself's reality
How much longer do we tolerate mass murder?
[Chorus: Raymond Watts & En Esch]
I tried to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire
[Verse 3: Sascha Konietzko]
Hand-cuffs and shackles won't frighten us
Neither cattle prod nor electrical whip will silence us
We shall use all peaceful means to overcome tyranny
Persist and march on
They can't use our shame against us
Regardless of race, social status or gender, we're all affected
[Chorus: Raymond Watts & En Esch]
I tried to keep my faith alive
(Keep my faith alive)
I'm close enough to trip the wire
(Trip the fucking wire)
I cannot keep my hate inside
(I hate myself inside)
I'm gonna set myself on fire
(Set myself on fire)
I get closer, beat by beat (By beat)
To get the thing I really need (I need)
I get closer, beat by beat (By beat)
To get the thing I really need (I need)
I get closer, beat by beat (By beat)
To get the thing I really need (I need)
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?
