lyrics

higher and higher we climb
'til there's nothing to stand on anymore
deeper and deeper we'll fall
when there's nothing to stand for anymore

wilful ignorance and denial of empathy
have been going together for so long
fatal endurance of false traditions and dated hierarchy
still keep them growing strong

a generation unable to recognize
another one unwilling to repair
another generation unable to cope and comply
a last one questioning "why are we even there?"
when none of us is spared
which one do you belong to

save your pity, save your sympathy
we're only at the beginning of the end
we're only about to start

save it for another species
one that is willing to change and to amend
spare my careless heart

we're standing on the edge
of our castle of sand
waiting for it to collapse
knowing we soon will strand
soon will strand

how will we stand our ground
when there's no more ground to stand

higher and higher we climb
'til there's noone to tread on anymore
deeper and deeper we'll fall
when there's noone to fall for anymore

save your pity, save your sympathy
we're only at the beginning of the end
we're only about to start

save it for another species
one that is willing to change and to amend
spare my careless heart

higher and higher
deeper and deeper
