[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?
