Somewhere overhead, distant thunder rolls The revolution has begun, the war to end all wars As I welcome death, I hear the battle-cry Bullets fall like fire raining from the sky
The rebel in us all, something(?) it’s tired of being pushed around Like freedom has a price, the cost is buried in the ground.
We suffered far too long; we gather now, growing stronger We will not be ignored anymore, any longer Our ____ will guide us
Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling tonight
Far too many years of chaos and unrest Far too many voices brutally suppressed We fight for what is just, for all that we believe We fight for death or glory; fight to be set free
The streets are paved in blood, time to step down and time to walk away You’ll never rule me now, though you may stand upon my grave
[Instrumental break]
You can look the other way, or you can face the light Although it seems so far away, freedom’s worth the fight
Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling tonight
The world watches on, while you risk our lives Locked in a kingdom of fear as our children die
