Lyrics: Orphanage. Beyond The Fall.

[Music & lyrics: G. Eikens, R. van der Aa]

Why don't they understand,
What hurts is what you feel.
Ignorance made us fools,
Mistaken what was real.
Everyone here's to blame for this,
The slightest guilt for free.
The slithering touch of evil men,
Is weakening you and me.
Eyes closed for neighbors, eyes closed for friends.
Which fate to choose from, it's their life that ends.
The day we seal our friendship,
Is the day we say goodbye.
But although it's farewell,
There's no need for us to cry.
The force that we've been sharing,
Is the force that binds us all.
Hold on to your dreams,
To survive beyond the fall.
Waiting to see his face again,
By genocide defiled.
The arrogance hasn't changed a thing,
Disgustingly he smiles.
Eyes filled with hatred, eyes filled with pain.
Nothing to choose from, nothing's the same.
Silent chambers, silent the night.
Whisper your name, for we are to blame.
Everyone here's to blame for this,
The slightest guilt for free.
The slithering touch of evil men,
Is weakening you and me.
Eyes call for justice, eyes of the law
Fate sealed for losers, no winners here...
