lyrics

attracted to an exodus by false promises
they spend - all their money
to travel into death
these human lives have been exploited

if enslavement, rape and torture have been endured
they lay down their bodies

in a grave of water
cause the holy coast is not attainable
but the sorrowed ones will not disappear
if we just close our eyes
the sorrowed ones will sink to the ground
if we just close our eyes

but wealth and voters
bound our souls in fear

and we've lost everything when empathy dies
we've lost everything - when empathy dies

this machinery of human traffickers
a monster we created
the spirits that we cited
lay down their bodies in front of our wealth
pushed ashore on your holiday beach
they lay down their bodies

in a grave of water
cause the holy coast is not attainable
but the sorrowed ones will not disappear
if we just close our eyes
the sorrowed ones will sink to the ground
if we just close our eyes

but all Europe does
is shutting borders, closing doors - the loss of human lives can never be forgiven
