The Appeal & The Mindsweep I

Music: Enter Shikari · Lyrics: Rou Reynolds
This is an appeal To the struggling and striving stakeholders of this planet This floating rock we call Earth
Alas, that means you That means everyone of your acquaintance Every figure your eyes skim past in the street Every charlatan still to defeat Every tender face you find solace in Now mimic the mindset William Wallace was in
Dismount, disembark, descend from your existence Slacken your angst and decant your hate Cause in the long run they're about as useful As pouring acid onto your dinner plate
To muzzled masses that lead lives of deafening desperation With Excalibur aloft King Arthur earned the throne But it's our minds we got to wrench out of stone
Don't be fooled by it's simplicity There was never a broadcast made of such urgency Cause at no time before us Did we grasp the scope of this emergency
Ladle out love and logic by the boatload Equipped with that cargo you can take any road Now grab life, seize time This fight is for human kind
I am a Mindsweeper Focus on me I am a Mindsweeper Focus on me
I will read your mind
I dart through rapids; through streams of thought Then suddenly I started losing my mind Catapulting through the uncharted I could no longer tell if these were your thoughts or mine
And it was if I held a mirror up to my soul (Held a mirror up to my soul) It was if I held a mirror up to my soul
Who was the author? And who was the observer? (Who was the author? And who was the observer?) For at the last analysis our thoughts coalesced
You are not alone You are not alone
You have entered volatile territory You have started a journey, you're part of the story And this, this was just a glimpse Just a glimpse
You've no idea what you've got yourself into You've no idea what you've got yourself into
Eugh!
I am a Mindsweeper Focus on me I am a Mindsweeper Focus on me
On me
