lyrics

The face of fear has beckoned all
A foreboding, faceless, cold expression
An arraignment forcing peace
With an attempt to keep us from aggression

As we sit and contemplate
Our state of being, how we’re living
Sinister plans have taken root and are ever pulling
Never giving

Don’t concede
Hold

You and your kin can’t be forced to give in
If your battle begins with a mind sharpened by you heart

Change your fate
Submission will blind you
Emancipate from the contracts that bind you
The feeding hand has lost its grip
But our throats will keep on tightening if we slip

If we starve
At least we’ll carve
A warning for new generations
But for now we’ll carry arms
And protect our souls from degradation

You and your kin can’t be forced to give in
If your battle begins with a mind sharpened by you heart
For it’s a start and in time
We’ll teach our children about peace
But this is war
Eyes on the future
Settle the score

Love is much deeper than any man’s pocket
When liberty lends luxury to liars who then lock it
Down with the pursuit of truth, the ability to persist
When you have fight the be human
When you have to fight to exist
Rip the tape right off of your mouth
Feel how breathing keeps you living
While you lift your weighted problems
Open up and shout it out

Break out of your silent prison
Your ambitions aren’t yet riven
With our spirits never faltered, we won’t fail
