INNERWISH – Sea of Lies (feat. Hansi Kürsch) (Official Music Video)
It wasn’t, but it became “the Hansi song”! And how couldn’t it become that, since Hansi Kürsch blessed it with his voice! We love 6/8 time songs, they come out totally naturally for us and this one might be our best one to date! Lyric wise, is about one of our times’ biggest problems, immigration, through the eyes of a child, leaving his home and warmth for an unknown destination and future, propably dark. The obstacles, the images, the thoughts. All through this child’s eyes and mind. Sometimes people overlook this situation perhaps believing that it doesn’t affect them or it’s far from their future. But is it after all? Who’s next in line? Children are the future. They all deserve the world. Nothing less.

Lyrics:
Cold is the wind in the den of the night
Trapped in a hell built in cries
I was born to fade
Waves of demise taking control
Voices are calling to save our souls
I know I’m afraid
Lost with no land
No hope and warming
Abandoned in
A fate so dim and haunting
Where to believe?
Sea of lies
A journey
Before our eyes
I’m trying to feel free again, to understand
Who sets who will live and who will die
Sea of lies
The emptiness
Of our lives
I’m a stargazer lost in the sand, a living damned
An outcast of wrath, greed and pride
Pray for those silent and fight for the frail
Over a child, mankind fails
Freedom drifts in gales
Race, religion, political grime
Cog in the wheel – Stigmatized
I pay for others’ gains
Frozen on screens
You see the terror, cannot deny it
While you stare, we bleed, the world’s falling
Who’s next in line?
