lyrics

red carnations blooming on the ceiling
the face in center frame, concealed, revealing
the prison of the sane, the fear of feeling
I salute your steady aim, Amanda Feilding

wipe the blood 
from your eyes
let in a little light
everybody wants a bit more life

open mind

open heart
beats in your brain, beautiful changeling
stone extraction, gory action painting

wipe the blood 
from your eyes
let in a little light
everybody wants a bit more life

open mind, open mind

and then a certain peace, a kind of returning
she rose within herself, more brightly burning

proof of life
cross a line
let in a little light
everybody says they want more life

open mind, open mind
