Lyrics

Refuge

Waves of poverty, of hope and desperation

Waves of tragedy, of death and desolation

Waves of fugitives forced to flee their broken homes

Hostile humankind, can't you see you're fucking blind?

Hostile humankind thinking with a narrow mind

Stranger, so far from home

There's a terror in your eyes

You whisper words of a hell unknown

Stranger in a sea unclear

The currents that drifted us now draw us near

Welcome to mayhem

Farewell to the world they know

Who's gonna save them?

Running from war to woe there's nowhere to go

Neighbour will you take my hand?

Is there still virtue in your heart

That will shelter me from dark?

Have you stopped to think and reflect that in this lifetime

Your child could be next?

All we show is neglect

Why do we disconnect the hearts

From the lives that fell apart?

Welcome to mayhem

Farewell to the world they know

Who's gonna save them?

Running from war to wor there's nowhere to go

Mayhem

Mayhem

Running from war to wor there's nowhere to go

Save them

Save them

Running from war to wor there's nowhere to go

Borders built to barricade

No one enters, no one is saved

Borders built to barricade

Building walls

Digging graves

The rivers rise with the lives of dead men

Open up the gates

Welcome to mayhem

Waves of fugitives forced to flee their broken homes

Hostile humankind thinking with a narrow mind

Farewell to the world they know

From war to woe there's nowhere to go

Farewell to the world they know

From war to woe there's nowhere to go

Welcome to mayhem

Farewell to the world they know

Who's gonna save them?

Running from war to woe there's nowhere to go

Mayhem

Mayhem

Running from war to wor there's nowhere to go

Save them

Save them

Running from war to wor there's nowhere to go
