Break the Horizon (translated version)

I open my eyes and the sun is awakening
I see the light, but I can't escape the thunder of the night
This scream from a thousand throats like a desperate prayer,
Which is silenced to a fearful plead for taking the misery away
That nobody wants to see -- the horizon turned into an image
Behind it rages the pain, but right here it remains quiet
Because behind our horizon arise the few in power,
The guardians of corruption, who despise the weak
By spinning webs of crime around their speeches of lies
And the people are forced to accept their fate
Just like Akbar Ganji, journalist from Iran,
Who fought for a freedom they would never grant him,
Because freedom of speech means potential resistance
Against a government that burns in words like in gasoline
So instead, they burned Ganjis sun and banned all hope into exile
By sending him away for six years of jail

And tonight they are silently dying
Our sleep is the blood where they lie in
And I know the sun won't be arising
Until we open our eyes and break the horizon

Break the horizon and you'll see what it means,
When the law tears the heart of justice to pieces
And the pain tears you apart, when your loved ones are gone
'Cause in his dungeon Ganji couldn't find love at all
Where's the smile of his kids and the picture of his wife
Inside this grey, darkened sky of a winter so quiet
Among mould and dust his hands grab the grille
Of his small window as the walls start to shake
While a crying merciless thunderstorm destroys what he build up
With the words that noone will listen to anymore
But they won't break him, even if he fights for years
He knows that his conviction will exult in the end
Even if he dies, because of torture or hunger strike
About which he writes to his wife in his darkest hours
And she cries, when she reads: My dear, forgive me. I'm
Caught in this cage to find freedom... I love you

Chorus

A hazy spark in the horizon, where the few armies
Of the never surrendering ones arise to fight against the falling night
To gain change and they wait for our sign
To tear the darkness apart, it's called: Break the horizon!
Because they need our sun, when their skies are frozen
And this star will shine on until the lat voice dies
Our light has to reach them, because the governments
Are getting away with murder, so: Break the horizon!
They want our blind ignorance, but we don't tolerate their actions
Or this hierarchy, which strangles the voice of freedom
So we need to unite our voices to heal those wounds
That our silence caused, scream: Break the horizon!
When I was just a kid I already had that dream
To the stars when I looked into the people's eyes
So overcome yourself until the last walls are smashed
Run to the end of the world and you'll realize when you fall
That every human being holds the fate of humanity in his hands

Chorus
