The Appeal & The Mindsweep I
Singer:Enter Shikari
Album:The Mindsweep
This is an appeal to the struggling and striving
stakeholders of this planet
this floating rock we call Earth.
That means everyone of your acquaintance
every figure your eyes skim past in the street
every charlatan still to defeat
every tender face you find solace in -
now mimic the mindset William Wallace was in.
descend from your existence
slacken your angst and decant your hate
'cause in the long run they're about as useful
as pouring acid onto your dinner plate.
To muzzled masses that lead lives of deafening desperation:
With Excalibur aloft King Arthur earned the throne
but it's our minds we gotta wrench out of stone.
Don't be fooled by its simplicity
there was never a broadcast made of such urgency
'cause at no time before us did we grasp the scope of this emergency.
Ladle out love and logic by the boatload
equipped with that cargo you can take any road.
seize time. this fight is for human kind.
through the streams of thought
then suddenly I started losing my mind.
Catapulting through the uncharted
I could no longer tell if these were your thoughts or mine.
And it was as if I held a mirror up to my soul
held a mirror up to my soul.
It was as if I held a mirror up to my soul.
Who was the author and who was the observer?
Who was the author and who was the observer?
For at the last analysis our thoughts coalesced.
You are not alone. You are not alone.
You have entered volatile territory
you have started a journey
you're part of this story.
You've no idea what you've got yourself into.
You've no idea what you've got yourself into.
