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've gathered 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 supressed
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 bathed in blood
Time to step down and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon the 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
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've gathered 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 supressed 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 bathed in blood Time to step down and time to walk away You'll never rule me now Though you may stand upon the 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 Explain Request ×
