"Dancing With A Stranger" lyrics

"Dancing With A Stranger"

There is war in the streets and the hearts
There is pain in the tears and the scars
There is hate in the eyes of your child
And the worst of it all is its right

In their eyes I see the image of a fading sun
I can see the colours run
What have we become

Open gates set the stage for a clash of cultures
The future is blurred and more challenges occur
What's wrong with these times is
A life is not worth more
Than the money that supplies it
Our minds are paralyzed and terrorized
By the unknown being demonized
As a parasite
There's no real rescue, no salvation
In how many deaths were they involved
Just to pride themselves for being saviors

We make ourselves feel different
Just to feel safe again
There's always something to resent
To reassure us of our identity
You're seeding hate
In your own lines
You're seeding hate
Just to divide the world

I don't want to witness the harvest yet

And with everything that we leave behind
We know that this world must die out

There's only death at the borders of our hearts
Dreams of hope but they all fell apart
Could you look in the eyes of your child
And tell 'em what were doing is right

Nothing is alright

I could easily scream out my mind every day
'Cause it's easy to say what is wrong with this world
But reality around me will never change by me pointing at enemies
Change comes from within so make peace with your fears
The future is frightening but we're deciding
You will not be surprised
Who will survive so don't close your eyes

All they have is their lives

Consumed by demons you won't look into a new face
With empathy
Because all you know is hatred
