Epilogue
ave;new Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In your face I scream
Finger pointed
In guarded stance
You'll listen

If you'd like to share
New thoughts, new ideas
Welcome in
Welcome in
If you're not venal
Praise veracity
Count me in
Count me in

I am not afraid of trying
We are not afraid
But are you

We don't inherit
The planet from our parents
It's borrowed from our children
You
You guys have the time
The half of you are old
The other half's still young

Take the mic
Before it gets too late
Take ther microphone now
We shouldn't take more out of the Earth
Than we give back
Are our lives really better?
We just don't know yet when and by whom
All that we get will be due later
The interest will paid

What we possess in technology
We lack in humanity
What we possess in technology
We lack in humanity
We've got everything we need

Are you awake?
Are you ready?
Remember awareness is the first step towards change
In a world of self-destruction
Is it mentioned that in these days
You don't have to be dead
To give your body away
To the profits of power and science

May I
May we speak?
May I
May we speak?

We don't inherit
The planet from our parents
It's borrowed from our children
Learn from your mistakes
Learn from your mistakes

Let's keep singing
Please keep singing
And screaming

Something's wrong
When peace cannot get the attention
How can Rock change the world?
Let's give it a try with new songs
This is an anti-war, bombing, power
Pollution, fear, greed album

Let's keep singing
Will we touch your heart
Please keep singing
As all of this touched ours
Let's keep singing
Let's keep singing




Please keep singing
Please keep screaming
