Close Your Eyes - Line in the Sand lyrics
[Close Your Eyes - Line in the Sand lyrics]
In a world full of hypocrites
That speak of tolerance and love
It's hard to find
A single one that lives the
Things they speak of
You speak of love and respect
But there is so much hate in your words
As soon as you disagree
The boundary lines are all lost and blurred
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Don't we all know
That crossing a line in the sand
Will be what unites us?
History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And tear the flag down
Your words have meant nothing
Their presence subliminal
You monopolize acceptance
And your hatred is criminal
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Don't we all know
That crossing a line in the sand
Will be what unites us?
History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And I'm here still fighting
The guns and cannons will sound
If freedom of choice is a god-given right
Then who are you to take it away?
You pompous Pharisee you have nothing on me
This is my line in the sand
Tell me, where do you stand?
Will you stand up for what's right
Or back down from the fight?
Victory or death! Victory or death!
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Don't we all know
That crossing a line in the sand
Will be what unites us?
History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And tear the flag down
That speak of tolerance and love
It's hard to find
A single one that lives the
Things they speak of
You speak of love and respect
But there is so much hate in your words
As soon as you disagree
The boundary lines are all lost and blurred
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Don't we all know
That crossing a line in the sand
Will be what unites us?
History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And tear the flag down
Your words have meant nothing
Their presence subliminal
You monopolize acceptance
And your hatred is criminal
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Turn in that crooked smile
Seething through gritted teeth
You hide your true intentions
But they're crystal clear to me
Don't we all know
That crossing a line in the sand
Will be what unites us?
History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And I'm here still fighting
The guns and cannons will sound
If freedom of choice is a god-given right
Then who are you to take it away?
You pompous Pharisee you have nothing on me
This is my line in the sand
Tell me, where do you stand?
Will you stand up for what's right

Victory or death! Victory or death!

History lies in the palm of our hand
And if death comes knocking
You can tell him that I'm still around
'Cos I'm here fighting
'til they break these walls to the ground
And tear the flag down
