Lyrics[]
For the pain and the sorrow caused by my mistakes
Won't repent to a mortal, whom is all to blame
Now I know I won't make it
There will be a time we'll get back our freedom
They can't break what's inside
I'll face it cause it's the heart of everything
Open up your eyes
Save yourself from fading away now
Don't let it go
Open up your eyes
See what you've become, don't sacrifice
It's truly the heart of everything
[Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes, it's the heart of everything
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes]
Open up your eyes
Stay with me now I'm facing my last solemn hour
Very soon I'll embrace you on the other side
Hear the crowd in the distance, screaming out my faith
Now their voices are fading, I can feel no more pain
I'll face it cause it's the heart of everything
Open up your eyes
Save yourself from fading away now
Don't let it go
Open up your eyes
See what you've become, don't sacrifice
It's truly the heart of everything
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Save yourself from fading away now
Don't let it go
Open up your eyes
See what you've become, don't sacrifice
It's truly the heart of everything
