Old wars we never won
We fight, lose and die the same
Re-conquered by a foe we can't name
Stand up! We cannot fall!
We fool ourselves and heed the call
Marching blindly into blame
Will We Rise?
Tear down all the lies they told
To make us pay
We're trapped in a snare
But the bait that were clutching is
Poison and cold
We're caught unaware
In the throes of the promise of
Comfort and gold
We gnaw our legs to stay alive
We drown in blood but still we strive
To sow the barren seeds they sold
Wil We Rise?
Taking back the lives they dared
To steal away
Now dark stars have aligned
The plague has come to claim us
Dress our flesh in dirt and lime
We starve in our shelters
And cower in our caves
Crawl out just to fight ourselves
For the right to be their slaves
Will tomorrow be the same dead, grey
Eternal today?
Will this sorrow never go away?
We're dying to wake ourselves up
But i don't think were dreaming
Will We Rise?
Tear down all the lies they told
To make us pay
Will We Rise?
Taking back the lives
They stole away
We fight, lose and die the same
Re-conquered by a foe we can't name
Stand up! We cannot fall!
We fool ourselves and heed the call
Marching blindly into blame
Will We Rise?
Tear down all the lies they told
To make us pay
We're trapped in a snare
But the bait that were clutching is
Poison and cold
We're caught unaware
In the throes of the promise of
Comfort and gold
We gnaw our legs to stay alive
We drown in blood but still we strive
To sow the barren seeds they sold
Wil We Rise?
Taking back the lives they dared
To steal away
Now dark stars have aligned
The plague has come to claim us
Dress our flesh in dirt and lime
We starve in our shelters
And cower in our caves
Crawl out just to fight ourselves
For the right to be their slaves
Will tomorrow be the same dead, grey
Eternal today?
Will this sorrow never go away?
We're dying to wake ourselves up
But i don't think were dreaming
Will We Rise?
Tear down all the lies they told
To make us pay
Will We Rise?
Taking back the lives
They stole away
