This is for the souls constantly at war For the ones who have been cast down, but never brought back up I am here to show you that you are more Than the worthlessness that they have left you for I am a sinful man; my heart is heavy just like yours But I'll be damned if I just let this end me I'm gonna stand up and be all that I can be One by one we build them up The cities to come and the cities that are to fall This is our painful cycle in which we're trapped Everyday you think you're living a nightmare But I won't back down from the calling I've heard myself And you won't stop me, you won't shut my liberal mouth I've seen the heart of God, I've seen the ways of man Show me your worst for I fear no man Cut out their tongues from their throats as they try to speak Force them to hear all the lies from your disbelief All for one and one for himself now Show me you're here, show them you're here It's time to rise up! Take back the lives they stole Push forth! Open the doors they close Are we as pointless as they make us out to be? Or are we men that will fight until we're free? Make the choice. I know that you're trying to speak But they'll never hear you when your lungs are too weak When they tell you what's done is done Just remember who you are before they shoot the gun When they tell you that you're in debt, just remember who you are When they tell you to take what's left, don't give up on yourself Look around, this is old news Men who desire power with a drive to kill History repeats over and over again Nothing changes but the faces and names of the men We drown in their flood While they're drenched in our blood Over and over and what do you have to show? Nothing more than the dollar bill that you owe All around us, a faithless world of deceit, leaving gaping holes in our minds But when I look to my home, I recall that my heart was always broken
