Erase - In Hearts Wake, Ben Marvin, J Hurley

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
