Liedtext zu „Twenty Seven Million“:

See what the worlds done? Came to London, she’s a nothing a no one, she’s undone, broken dreams, stolen freedom, trapped in the night, trafficked and beaten. All a part of an evil economy nothing more than someones commodity, a precious being like you and me, a daughter a sister a somebody!

She was drawn by the bright lights, she was tied up in their lights, she worked right through the daylight, no voice, she’s a slave to the night.

27 million, like me.
(That’s 27 million people on this cruel journey)

(4-fach) We’ve got to rise up, open our eyes up. Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!

After the man left, she’s nothing left, no one, no love, no one to call her friend. She’s stuck in the pit of hell, she’s almost sick of the smell. She’s numb, she’s dead from the inside out, her heart is screaming but you don’t hear the shout. Who’s the voice? Who’s going to break the door down? Who wakes her up from this nightmare now?

She was drawn by the bright lights, she was tied up in their lights, she worked right through the daylight, no voice, she’s a slave to the night.

27 million, like me.
(27 million need Heavens mercy)

(4-fach) We’ve got to rise up, open our eyes up. Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!

27 million, are you joking? How do we let evil get so tight a grip, watching while the world falls apart? How do we let this stuff begin? We’re not bothered if this offends because you got people that can defend. But they ain’t got that, they got nothing. Sometimes you gotta stand for something. Let this be the stand that gets your blood running.

Little girl don’t cry, let me dry your eyes in the darkest night (you’re not alone). Hold on through the storm, you’re not on your own, hold on, love will come.

(8-fach) We’ve got to rise up, open our eyes up, be her voice, be her freedom, come on, stand up!
