lyrics

YOU TRY
...to tear down what we’ve built.
The injustice all around...
You keep telling lies,

And I’m not giving up
GIVING UP
Giving up
You know I’m not giving up
GIVING UP
I’m not giving up!

You take away what we love.
Bring your fist down from above.
Hammering the final nails,
To bring us down, but…

We’re not giving up
GIVING UP
Giving up
You know we’re not giving up
GIVING UP
We’re not giving up!

The towers crumble beneath our feet.
We find strength in numbers…
Your days are numbered. [blegh]

We will stick together.
We’ll find what makes us strong.
We’re counting down the days,
Until our hearts burn bright…
Until we learn TO FIGHT BACK!

So come to your senses.
The time has come for you to go
And let us heal in OUR OWN WAY!
Step down from your throne.
Before you force our hand.
Before we make our stand.

Don’t you see what you’ve done.
Once our lives had meaning.
The lines are drawn in the sand,
And now we’re pawns IN YOUR GAME!
We keep our heads held high,
Our eyes are open wide.
We won’t accept your lies.
No more!

It’s time to fight.
Open wounds and bury our pride.
Target those who seek to divide
And break our silence right now!

We will stick together!
We’ll find what makes us strong!

You say you know what’s right.
You tell us to say goodbye,
To those who won’t pay your price.
Now you’ve crossed the line.

We all bleed the same crimson red.
Yet you bleed with words like a charlatan.
