    Lyrics

    A dark day comes with the sunrise
    Awaken with a new chance to realise
    With senses engaged, open your mind
    And ask yourself: Are you satisfied?
    
Dark days should be a warning
    But dark years and still reassuring
    With senses engaged, open your mind
    And try to tell me you're not petrified

    Dry lung rhetoric echoes across these silent streets
    We must turn a blind eye no longer

    There are so many reasons to admit that things have got to change
    So many cry out this global path must not remain

    Problems have been detected
    By the many, it's been rejected
    With senses engaged, open your mind
    And ask yourself: Are you satisfied?
    Quick fixes are not the answer
    If we are to cure the cancer
    With senses engaged, open your mind

    And try to tell me you're not petrified

    Looking for enemies when apathy is the real threat
    We can't play this game forever

    It was only a matter of time

    What did you expect?
    I won't tell you again

    This way of life has truly failed. Time to try something else
    A mammoth crisis has been unveiled. Are we to perish or prevail?

    Turn a blind eye... no longer
