From shadows
we'll descend upon the world
take back what you stole

from shadows
we'll reclaim our destiny
set our future free

and we'll rise
and we'll rise


above the darkness and the shame
above the torture and the pain
above the ridicule and hate

above the binding of our fate

born with no life

into subjugation
treated like a worthless animal
stripped of all rights

just a lesser being
crushed by cruel ruthless human rule


when it started
all we wanted was a chance to live our lives
now in darkness

taking everything we want and we will rise
we'll rise
we'll rise
