lyrics

Train yer eyes on the fast approaching storm
keep yer head clear, subdue yer fear
and fight for the ones you mourn
there is nothing left of the old world now
winds tear apart and the waves wash away
the work of the sweated brow

try to keep the voices from burning out
stifle creation built on mistake
and docility earned by knout
tear down the borders that fragment the world
erased all disparity with solidarity
our black flag will be unfurled

walk through the inferno flames dance
as they kiss your skin
nothing compares to the violent flares
of the fire that burns within
wavering on convictions human nature isn't set
those that debate that greed is innate
pose to us the greatest threat
this is our war, we have a right to put actions
behind our speech
few men get the chance to declare a stance
and practice the things we preach
so stand up, but aside all the differences that we hold
born into constraints be we'll die without chains
if we just learn to break the mold

try to keep the voices from burning out
stifle creation built on mistake
and docility earned by knout
tear down the borders that fragment the world
erased all disparity with solidarity
our black flag will be unfurled
out of the ashes we rise as we shed our chains
bask in the glory for we achieved victory
free from collapsing veins
lift up yer faces cleansed in the gentle rain
the storm dissipated and left us elated
with only the world to gain

we are the storm ripping yer country apart
purging the structure we are the cure
to indifference in yer heart
we won't be fooled, confusing fever with disease
let spirits be filled as we start to rebuild
in a land without crooks and thieves
