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
