Lyrics

Retrieve your sight
Dazed by beliefs
You will not reach your shielded mind
Regain the light
That once burned inside
Don’t feed the shadows of your mind
Tear down your walls

Push your prejudice aside
Burn trees of hate down to the ground

Tear them down
(Utinan temptes consentire cum cornice)
Don’t await a miracle, turn aims into action
Seek what’s right
(Eam adspecta ad res divinas evola)
We’re keepers of the sacred laws, for nothing escapes our sight
(Duobus locis in mente aderis)

Retrieve your sight
As dazed by fear
You will dismiss your inner guide
Open the gate
For the prosecution
Sentence your inner fear to death
Tear down your walls

Push your bias to the side
Burn trees of hate down to the ground

Align with me
Melt light with darkness
Make sure you won’t die in the harness
Do not fear the desire to leave your cage

When the path is not so clear
Walk without fear
Trust in your guide

Fly with me
(Utinan temptes consentire cum cornice)
We dominate illusions, we’re bending the whole truth
To show what’s right
(Eam adspecta ad res divinas evola)
We’re masters of the universe, the outcome is in our might
(Alternam formam corporis adsume)

Tear down your walls

Trivia

“Everybody has walls around them but if you never break them down, you’ll never make progress or grow. [The song] starts with the sound of crows and they’re really important to the lyrics as well. In Shamanism, they’re the keepers of the sacred law and nothing escapes their sight. When we meditate on the crow, we are instilled with the wisdom to know ourselves beyond the limitations of one-dimensional thinking and laws. We’re taught to appreciate the many dimensions of both reality and ourselves, and to learn to trust our intuition and personal integrity.” – Mark Jansen
