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.

Alas

that means you.

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.

Dismount

disembark

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.

Now grab life

seize time. this fight is for human kind.

I am a mindsweeper

focus on me.

I am a mindsweeper

focus on me.

I will read your mind.

I dart through rapids

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.

And this

this was just a glimpse

just a glimpse.

You've no idea what you've got yourself into.

You've no idea what you've got yourself into.

I am a mindsweeper

focus on me.

I am a mindsweeper

focus on me

on me.
