Tear Down That Wall Songtext
von Ende Chen

They sealed your mouth with layers of lies
Built walls of fear that scrape the skies
History erased, our memories chased
We′re forced to live as puppets they create

They say stability above all else
But why is pain all the people felt?
How many souls died with no farewell?
How many homes did the party turn to hell?

No more silence, no more retreat
Your burning rage is freedom's beat
Every second a voice is caged
Is a blade in the back of the human race

Tear down that wall! (Hey!)
Rip through their disguise (Hey!)
Let truth ignite and blaze across the night
Tear down that wall! (Hey!)
Wake the sleeping light (Hey!)
Freedom isn′t granted, it's our sovereign right


They fear books, they fear songs, they fear crowds
Fear dawn returning when no lies are allowed
Fear names once banned rising loud and clear
Fear each new generation carving truth from fear

We are not rioters, we are awake
We are not trembling, we are the quake
When millions rise to say "No more!"
The iron curtain shatters to the floor

Tear down that wall! (Go!)
Break through the absurd (Hey!)
Everyone who stands up is a sharpened word
Tear down that wall! (Hey!)
No matter the cost or scars (Go!)
We fight for tomorrow, not the party's lies and masks

Tear down that wall!
Rip through their disguise
Let truth ignite and blaze across the night
Tear down that wall!
No matter the cost or scars
We fight for tomorrow, not the party′s lies and masks

But one wall will fall
When truth becomes the echo heard by all
