Lyrics

[02:11.45] Stand and fight, we do consider
[02:14.00] Reminded of an inner pact between us
[02:17.39] That's seen as we go and ride there in motion
[02:25.90] To fields secrets of honor, defending
[02:29.30] Stand the marchers soaring talons
[02:32.05] Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom
[02:35.60] Fighting we know, destroy oppression
[02:41.77] The point to reaction as leaders look to you, attacking
[02:59.62] Choose and renounce, throwing chains to the floor
[03:04.32] Kill or be killing, faster sins correct the flow
[03:09.29] Casting giant shadows off fast penetrating force
[03:14.10] To alter via the war that seen as friction spans
[03:17.46] The spirit's wrath ascending to redeem
[03:41.10] Wars that shout in screams of anguish
[03:43.71] Power spent passion despoils our soul receiver
[03:47.41] Surely we know, in glory we rise to offer
[03:55.98] Create our freedom, a word we utter, a word
[04:09.64] Words cause our banner, victorious our day
[04:14.00] Will silence be promised as violence displays?
[04:19.12] The curse increased, we fight the power and live by it by day
[04:23.94] Our Gods awake in thunderous roars and guide
[04:26.73] The leader's hand in paths of glory to the cause
[05:45.09] Listen, should we fight forever
[05:52.91] Knowing, as we do know fear destroys?
[05:58.93] Listen, should we leave our children?
[06:05.30] Listen, our lives stare in silence, help us now
[06:18.52] Listen, your friends have been broken
[06:25.64] They tell us of your poison, now we know
[06:31.60] Kill them, give them as they give us
[06:37.47] Slay them, burn their children's laughter on to hell
[07:30.35] The fist will run, grasp metal to gun
[07:35.00] Spirit sings in crashing tones, we gain the battle drum
[07:40.02] Our cries will shrill, the air will moan and crash into the dawn
[07:44.79] The pen won't stay the demon's wings
[07:47.09] The hour approaches, pounding out the Devil's sermon
[17:06.45] Soon oh soon the light
[17:15.16] Pass within and soothe this endless night
[17:22.52] Oh wait here for you, our reason to be here
[17:35.75] Soon oh soon the time
[17:44.67] All we move to gain will reach and calm
[17:52.09] Our heart is open, our reason to be here
[18:06.00] Long ago, set into rhyme
[18:23.33] Soon oh soon the light
[18:32.11] Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
[18:39.53] The sun will lead us, our reason to be here
[19:59.85] Soon oh soon the light
[20:08.74] Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
[20:16.14] The sun will lead us, our reason to be here
