Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
Change
Change
[Verse 2]
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
[Verse 3]
Return to the womb (New life)
Lay your head to rest (Mercy)
To give you a peace of mind
Lay your head to rest
[Verse 4]
Come together inside
This body is only a shell
Change
The only way we will survive
Light
Transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul
Of the mind
[Verse 5]
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
[Verse 6]
Return to the womb (New life)
Lay your head to rest (Mercy)
To give you a peace of mind
Lay your head to rest
[Verse 7]
Tell them
They will not hold us down
It's time for change
Change
It's time for change
Change
It's time for change
They will not hold us down
They will not hold us down
It's time for change
It's time for change
