[Enter Shikari - The Appeal & the Mindsweep I lyrics]
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 got to
Wrench out of the stone
Don't be fooled by it's 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 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
It was as if I held a mirror up to my soul
Held a mirror up to my soul
It was 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
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 got to
Wrench out of the stone
Don't be fooled by it's 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

I am a mindsweeper focus on me

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
