English Lyrics:

Lords, those who lack nothing and have it all,

Lords, I cry out the truth here,

I plead and appeal for your compassion,

Look back at the world before it's too late

Lords, wealthy and well-educated ones,

Look, aren't you afraid of the stars in the sky?

The streets are filled with sorrow,

A different world is starving

Open your eyes to the hellish,

The lives at the very bottom,

The cruel price they must endure and pay

Open your eyes, open your heart,

In hatred and despair,

Even hope is dying;

Open your eyes and see

I have become the highest of nobles,

These scars won’t disappear,

But that’s how it is; no one is perfect,

Not even you, not even anyone

Open your eyes, now is the time,

Share what you have,

Show mercy; it must not be too late

Open your eyes, open your heart,

Until everyone can live with dignity,

Please, open your eyes

Have you ever lost your way in the snow,

Frozen to the bone,

Waiting to starve to death?

Begging for a piece of bread, a piece of coal,

Crying as you plead,

You’ll never know, not until you open your eyes

You’ve turned away from the dying, from the painful wounds,

Open your eyes to the hellish poverty and suffering,

Tear down those walls,

Let true freedom and only justice breathe,

Pierce through the lies; now is the time,

Open your eyes and see
