Somewhere overhead
Distant thunder roars
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
Someday gets tired

of being pushed around
But 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 anthem 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 till 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


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 we risk our lives

Locked in a kingdom of fear
As our children die
