Invisible Walls
I've been chasing ghosts
for longer than I should
digging up the past
like it was something in my blood
clawing at the memories
and clutching at straws
I've been running on empty
with no space for a pause
Can't see a pattern
a reason or rhyme
can't tell you the place
but you'll know when it's time
when the invisible walls
come tumbling down
we'll turn fear into power
there'll be a burning in town
They'll appeal for calm
but it wont do no good
it surely wont help
to get us understood
the cops will get desperate
try and push us around
but it's fear into power
and a burning in town
When invisible walls
come tumbling down
it's fear into power
and a burning in town.
There's a man stands crying
with shame in his eyes
a book in his hand
and a head full of lies
we worked out the answers
now we're playing their games
there's only one truth
and it's written in flames
Yeh, when invisible walls
come tumbling down
we'll turn fear into power
and it's burning in town
Although it's hard to foresee
what the future may bring
we've been hungry so long
with our suffering
what they can't tell us
what they can't know
is there's a river of fire
gonna overflow
when invisible walls
come tumbling...
