"Not In Our Name" lyrics

There're signs in the water, there're signs in the wind
It's easy to see if you dare
For once close your eyes now and open your mind
And you'll see the truth everywhere

A world full of cynics, filled up with hate
A mankind with nowhere to go
Once born in the fire, we keep up the flame
The world may be dying, but not in our name

Not in our name, not in our name
We call for reason, we're calling in vain
Not in our name, not in our name
Someday you'll wake up and look back in shame
No, not in our name

We've come through the ages, we've gone through the times
And passed our legacy on
For once close your eyes now and search for what's real
The truth that's been there all along

A world full of shadows, filled with despair
A mankind that preys on the weak
The vultures are craving for more of the same
The world may be falling, but not in our name

Not in our name, not in our name
We call for reason, we're calling in vain
Not in our name, not in our name
Someday you'll wake up and look back in shame
No, not in our name

Will we wise up now before we fall
Our backs lined up against a wall
With our last belief, our last attempt
The last of us are standing tall
Standing tall 'til the end

Not in our name, not in our name
We call for reason, we're calling in vain
Not in our name, not in our name
Someday you'll wake up and look back in shame
No, not in our name

Not in our name
