Call to fight opression

lyrics

Verse 1
The ignorance, indifference
It’s all of the things I see
No matter how, the world exists
We follow them bound by chains
The wretched kings, they preach a lie
Waiting to see us fall
Upon our face, the pavement’s face…
The tyrants have blacked out the sun!

Verse 2
So in denial, we set a trial
Only to feed them more
So tie them up, upon a stake
Burning the pylons down
Yet still they live, upon a mass
Of leagues born of fanatics
And still the world, resolves to burn
The tyrants have blacked out the sun!

Blacked out the sun!

Bridge 1
Rise up! (Rebel!)
Stand up! (Rebel)
Now it’s our time
Open your eyes!

Closer…it gets closer this
Feeling that I kept bottled inside
Worsens…it just worsens the
Aching that I kept bottled inside

Chorus 1
This world of madness spins again
Every day, same old things again (blindly we follow them)
We try to change the way we live (eyes open to the light ahead)
In flames, our world will burn away

Bridge 2
RISE! (x8)

Chorus 2
This world of madness spins again
Every day, same old things again (blindly we follow them)
We try to change the way we live (eyes open to the light ahead)
In flames, we’ll save this world today; we’ll change the world today!
