Revival Songtext
von Pain of Salvation

An eye for an eye
A tear for a tear
A lie for a lie
The weak dress in hatred to hide their fear

We cling to symbols for our mind
Hour by hour we′re losing us
Defenceless for the weak to bind
Second by second abusing us

A wound for a wound
By silence we breed
Learn the hate that keeps us blind
From the hands that hit and feed

Children teach each other pain
Hour by hour they're learning it
Dreamers in the wheel of reign
Second by second we′re turning it around


Closing the books of the prophets
Closing our eyes for the visions that die
And then we weep
"Why do I still need to cry
When I'm so happy now?"

Saviors come forth in times of need
Prophets seek me - for you I will bleed

Cry, cry, little lonely world cry
I won't close my eyes
I′ll be your tears when you′re dry
Pouring to the ground

Scar by scar we're all becoming
Seeking prophets now

I won′t bear the cross one step further (Come to me now - feel the revival)
I won't bear your hate any longer (Follow me now - join the revival)
Free I will rise

See me
Believe in me
Hear me - I′ll speak to you
You are the prophets
Come forth and I'll bleed for you

I
