Awoken everyday into this world that I despise Those around me pushing for a shallow taste of power Fighting for the ones that manufacture our demise I'm staring in to see behind the veil from which they cower Green yields to gray, stone yields to steel Those opposing progress are crushed under their heel We will stop at nothing until we choke out the sun Yeah, you've heard this shit, but what can be done? We can rattle the bars [x3]
And now I'm pacing like an animal who's yearning to be free Consumed by the belief that I alone can see this world die I look around and realize this can't be all on me It's a part of human nature to continue asking why I can barely believe how far we've come And I can barely believe how far we have to go You can't stop us now But it's a race against time when the best of our kind just barely Rattle the bars It's not enough, it's just not enough that We can rattle the bars But it's the place we start, to break these chains apart We can scream our vision so loud we shake the prison
In a world where stone yields to steel Never be content with the strength of your will The only true power is the one in your mind And in the people who stand by you till the day that you die We are the ones gazing out of the cage, when these bars won't break no matter how great the rage We forge our heaven inside this hell, it's the rise of our power from within this cell Combined strength So one day These bars might break
