Lyrics Erase - In Hearts Wake, Ben Marvin, J Hurley

Erase

Open up your eyes because it’s a long way down
Wake up and turn this hatred around
Racial insanity, trafficking of slaves
These crimes you will take to your graves
Your souls are like one another
Your veins are similar in colour
This land wasn’t yours to keep
So listen now and hear me speak
The stars look down and witness
Erase the spreading sickness
You can’t see it with your eyes because they are rolling back
You’re about to have a heart attack
Human depravity, suffering and torture
Co-existence maimed at the slaughter
Your souls are like one another
Your veins are similar in colour
This land wasn’t yours to keep
Wake up fools from your ignorant sleep
The stars look down and witness
Erase the spreading sickness
You’re so far gone that you can’t see
Your place in hell is guaranteed
I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown
Unmarked graves for those who have disgraced our name
Devastate?
Eradicate?
The human race is the same in every way
I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown
Separation will never advance us
Discriminate, you will never rebuild trust
We’re born the same over time.
Your open mind changed
We’re all brothers, so you need to look upon others in the same light
Just 'cause you’re white doesn’t mean you can excuse this ignorant fight
And the same if you’re black no racist attack is justified
Supremacy, just a lie
Does it matter about the colour of skin?
Stop wasting your time.
You're fighting a fight that you won’t win
Diminish this ignorance and get a grip;
settle in
You’re controlled by the hype, abusive and threatening
Towards another brother that wants to be here and fit in
Grown up around mixed-race kids, we see no difference
So why discriminate him?
Hatred based on appearance
You need to erase this spreading sickness
The stars look down and witness
Erase the spreading sickness
You’re so far gone that you can’t see
Your place in hell is guaranteed
