“It’s the same old song,
You’ve gotta be somewhere at sometime,
And they never let you fly.
It’s like broken glass,
You get cut before you see it,
So open up your eyes.”

"Stand Up and Shout" on Holy Diver (1983)

The moment that you open up your eyes.
A dream is just a riddle,
Ghosts from every corner of your life.”
