It wasn’t, but it became “the Hansi song”! And how couldn’t it become that, since Hansi Kürsch blessed it with his voice! We love 6/8 time songs, they come out totally naturally for us and this one might be our best one to date! Lyric wise, is about one of our times’ biggest problems, immigration, through the eyes of a child, leaving his home and warmth for an unknown destination and future, propably dark. The obstacles, the images, the thoughts. All through this child’s eyes and mind. Sometimes people overlook this situation perhaps believing that it doesn’t affect them or it’s far from their future. But is it after all? Who’s next in line? Children are the future. They all deserve the world. Nothing less. 🎧 Stream, get it here: ▶ FOLLOW @REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 EU: 🛒 US: 🛒 UK: Web YouTube Instagram Facebook X TikTok Spotify ▶ FOLLOW @INNERWISH Web: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: YouTube: Composers: Thimios Krikos, Manolis Tsigkos Lyrics: Fragiskos Samoilis Recorded at Devasoundz Studio by Fotis Benardo Additional recordings at LoNe Studio by Thimios Krikos Mixed and mastered by Henrik Udd Original footage from rescues courtesy of Anna Pantelia Original footage from refugee camps courtesy of Star Channel News and Aris Labos Hansi Kürsch footage filmed at Twilight Hall Studio by Dirk Behlau | Pixeleye Industries Filmed & Edited by John Nikolopoulos Filmed at Manos Backline Studios Huge thanks to Star Channel News for letting us use footage from its archive and tons of thanks to Aris Labos for all his effort in achieving this!

Sea of lies A journey Before our eyes I’m trying to feel free again, to understand Who sets who will live and who will die Sea of lies The emptiness Of our lives I’m a stargazer lost in the sand, a living damned An outcast of wrath, greed and pride Pray for those silent and fight for the frail Over a child, mankind fails Freedom drifts in gales Race, religion, political grime Cog in the wheel – Stigmatized I pay for others’ gains Frozen on screens You see the terror, cannot deny it While you stare, we bleed, the world’s falling Who’s next in line? #InnerWish #SeaOfLies #HeavyMetal #ReigningPhoenixMusic #RPM #Powermetal #ProgressiveMetal #Metal #Metalhead #Greece #MelodicMetal #hansikursch
