It's here on ashes that we stand There's nothing left to see here They let the world disappear They said we'd see a brighter day But they took freedom away And then played their cards upon our fear But they have failed at their own game It tore at all frayed ends Too burned to build again And here we are to stand upon The place their built their empire on The place we came together with our friends
So, light a candle for the cause They bared their teeth, we showed our claws And here we are today We drove their tyranny away Now, take a second to inquire Why you should fan this growing fire Listen to our freedom cry Here to rebuild or here to die
It's here together that we stand The bricks we lay to guide us Reflect the words inside us Showing where we can be strong Not what is right and what is wrong But what we have defined on our own Let's cut the ties around our dreams Instead we'll trust and follow Refusing to be hollow And now I pledge to hold on to The freedom shared with me and you The life we are rebuilding unafraid
There's a time and a place To show that we can erase And we did Oh we did But not only did we take We rebuilt for freedom's sake And we are We still are They told us peace is submission But that saying was a lie Peace is when you listen Take the time to hear their cries Go, now my friend This is what follows the end Rebuild We rebuild again
