The Wayside Songtext
von Hit the Switch

"Human beings must stop killing other human beings. And that′s
A belief that I shared, I shared it then, I believe it even more
Strongly today. How much evil must we do in order to do good?"

The status of this matter is impeding
The less we give attention to, its strength subsides
What better way to think
Neglect's what we all need
My tolerance will overcome
My interest will inflict no one

Compassionate knowledge as the ever-burning mind
I have opened the door
For the first time, I′ve viewed your pain
As if it was my own
Never again shall I act without this concern


My fellow man, no better than his neighbor
Compete for the same prize
And never think to coincide
If we should emphasize
If we should stress the importance of matters in our lives
Could they sacrifice?

Understanding this could solve many things
If they can't perceive it
What loss left to the phantomless?
You've yet to grasp the problem
Oh, radiant light
Guide me through these ramshackle times

Feeling of despondency has overwhelmed
The cause and now nobody cares
Well, let me be the first to strike against this
This world desperately needs what we′ve come to forsake it
