Rise

Silently dreaming still,
left of our own free will
Hoping there's still a chance for our promised land
Flesh and bone pay the price,
trapped in a cold device
Glimpsing at what could be
if we had the chance

The past can't help us now
Rules are rigged with thoughts
long antiquated
Only thing constant is change

So, let's make it rise and rip the cords out,
now's the time to go
Easy to dream when the world is not our own
So, let's step into the light
and bind ourselves by oath
If we don't try,
we lose all we have known

Fear of order remade,
contrasting the portrayed
The very core of our
history defined
Forebears who came before
fought for a piece of more
Nobody sits and waits
for stars to align

The past can't help us now
No sense brooding on all that was wasted
Only thing constant is change

So, let's make it rise and rip the cords out,
now's the time to go
Easy to dream when the world is not our own
So, let's take it step into the light and
bind ourselves by oath
If we don't try,
we lose all we have known

Life is not so futile
Side by side we'll fix
what we created
Only thing constant is change

So, let's make it rise and rip the cords out,
now's the time to go
Easy to dream when the world is not our own
So, let's take it rise and lift the floodgates,
let it overflow
Stand strong and tall
as the stormwinds blow

Don't forsake it
Reality's decay
eats away the growth
A cycle that we are meant to loath
So, let's step into the light and
bind ourselves by oath
If we don't try,
we lose all we have known

We will not give in
Stand with me if you have what it takes
Fight for our future
We will not give in
No time as antecedent wears thin
No time but now to rise
