Eyes Wide Open has since carved their way into the halls of Swedish Metal. Pointed out as a Melodic death metal or metalcore band by different genre purist, but Eyes Wide Open’s soul lies within the melody, big choruses and their catchy riffs.
With ”And so it begins” the Eyes Wide Open trilogy is finally complete. Starting with ”Revelations” to tell us whats about to come if we continue to leech on this planet and ”Aftermath” how we may or may not live through it.
”And so it begins” takes on the perspective of today, where we stand with all of our problems like wars, environmental disasters and our addiction to luxury. Will the revelations come true?
With the sudden departure of vocalist Patrik Fahlin, Eyes Wide Open had to evolve and Erik stepped up as their new vocalist.
Erik says: People probably thought we were done for when Patrik left us, but we pulled through big time. And now I don´t hesitate to say we are better than ever. With ”And so it begins” we prove ourselves among the top players and now I´m just thrilled to get out there to kick some ass.

Burn 'Em
Eyes Wide Open Lyrics
Burn 'em, DOWN!
As I face the sky
I wonder why
What have I ever done to you?
I won’t let you cut me back to sleep
You have no power over me
And now these ropes change how I feel
Four pillars saves me when I fall
Lift me up once for all
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Lost in apathy
I’ll brave my fears
Don’t want to waste another tear
I won’t let you cut me back to sleep
You have no power over me
Your loosened grip is what I see now
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh
Four pillars saves me when I fall
Lift me up once for all
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn 'em all down
Down
I said
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Yeah
Burn 'em all down
Burn 'em all down
Burn 'em to the ground
As I face the sky
I wonder why
What have I ever done to you?
I won’t let you cut me back to sleep
You have no power over me
And now these ropes change how I feel
Lift me up once for all
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Lost in apathy
I’ll brave my fears
Don’t want to waste another tear
I won’t let you cut me back to sleep
You have no power over me
Your loosened grip is what I see now
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh
Four pillars saves me when I fall
Lift me up once for all
I face my demons with fire
Reject, reload
And burn them down
Burn 'em all down
Down
Burn 'em all down
Down
I said
Burn down
Burn 'em all down
Yeah
Burn 'em all down
Burn 'em all down
Burn 'em to the ground
