Lyrics

 * [Tempest Shadow]
 * It's time you learned a lesson
 * It's time that you understand
 * Don't ever count on anybody else
 * In this or any other land


 * I once hoped for friendship
 * To find a place among my kind
 * But those were the childish wishes
 * Of someone who was blind


 * Open up your eyes
 * See the world from where I stand
 * Me, among the mighty
 * You, caged at my command


 * Open up your eyes
 * Give up your sweet fantasy land
 * It's time to grow up and get wise
 * Come now, little one, open up your eyes


 * We all start out the same
 * With simple naive trust
 * Shielded from the many ways
 * That life's not fair or just


 * But then there comes a moment
 * A simple truth that you must face
 * If you depend on others
 * You'll never find your place


 * [instrumental]


 * And as you take that first step
 * Upon a path that's all your own
 * You see it all so clearly
 * The best way to survive is all alone


 * Open up your eyes
 * See the world from where I stand
 * Me, among the mighty
 * You, caged at my command


 * Open up your eyes
 * And behold the faded light
 * It's time to grow up and get wise
 * Come now, little one, open up your eyes


 * Open up your eyes!
