Lyrics:

Oh yeah
Wake up, set your sights
for never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail

You're listening through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights
For the time is right for your role

Yeah, for your role

Wake up, wake up, wake up, set your sights
Never, never, never shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Justice, justice, justice will prevail

There in the morning, flying over the hills
While men are yawning they are crushed by our wheels
Never have I witnessed people in fear
Not like today, not in many a year
Go kill another, there are more close behind
No screams of mother, are you out of your mind?
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered in all parts of the field

Oh no! Did I tell you what would happen if you tried?
"Oh God, stop this killing!" said a young man before he died

Wake up, set your sights
For never, shall we fail
Stand up, for your rights
And justice, will prevail

This song is so good, i really could never understand why Uriah Heep were not held in the high regard afforded to Sabbath, Purple and Zeppelin. Always loved and always saw their supreme talent.

[clannadgermany]

Was one of my alltime favorite songs of Uriah Heep, so outstanding and unique, most underrated of course !!

[MicheleJack-nr]

Driving back roads of Ohio listening to this on an 8 track casette. Transcendent.

[bwanadave]

David's voice is incredible on this album.

[robertvetter]

One of the very first songs I have learned to play on guitar in my life. Very jazzy chords, great bass.

[sixtiesspirit]

Excellent track. Beautiful passage of guitar, strings and voice from 4 minutes, even reminiscent of Scott Walker at 2.56 or so. Tremendously underrated.

[howardcox]

My track favourite from VEVU. Great bass lines from Paul Newton.

[completelyboringstuff]

Love the bass, but not only. Great song!

[michelbernardo]

Ce titre m'a mené direct à COLOSSEUM. En 1970 C'etait le temps de toutes les audaces, pour notre plus grand plaisir. Aujourd'hui encore, ce titre est fantastique.

[a.rafaelcruzsaenz]

Obra maestra. Tal vez la mejor canción que he escuchado. Grandes recuerdos de mi adolescencia

[arcticnorthernlights]

One of my favorite. Beautiful guitar and that vocals.

[zzebowa]

This is very good stuff, I can see a lot of Wolf Mother in this, must have inspired them.

[kevinturner]

This song swings, its got lovely double time nippy sections, very tasteful choon, a favourite of mine 😊

[mozartsmate]

And astonishingly, people really do think that today's music is the best ever.. Case closed...

[genaldoaaujo]

Está música,
É uma eternidade 🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐

[vladdracull]

O que falar de uma música dessas?? Maravilhosa, genial, todos os adjetivos são poucos.

[eduardorogeliorodriguez]

Este es el verdadero origen del heavy metal

[komar_piskun]

Incredible progressive rock from Uriah Heep! И вообще антивоенные песни лучше всего удавались хипам. Только у них можно найти такую бесподобную россыпь безумно трогательных, а, порой, и весьма агрессивных песен о войне. Да куда там далеко ходить: Salisbury это явный пример. Пометка: если там изображён танк на обложке и песни с намёком про войну, то это не значит что они имеют в виду милитаризацию, совсем наоборот. Многие люди этого не понимают.

[pgrossmsk]

Indeed a beautiful track, still underrated though . A nice ending for their album last track
