Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For the pain and the sorrow
'Cause 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
[Verse 2]
I'll face it
'Cause it's the heart of everything
[Verse 3]
Open up your eyes
Save yourself from fadin' 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
[Verse 4]
Stay with me, now I'm facin'
My last solemn hour
Very soon, I'll embrace you
On the other side
[Verse 5]
Hear the crowd in the distance
Screamin' out my faith
And now their voices are fadin'
I can feel no more pain
[Verse 6]
I'll face it
'Cause it's the heart of everything
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
[Verse 9]
Open up your eyes
Save yourself from fadin' 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
