We Shall Rise

Rise my friends...Rise to the cause...
Like we know not of any pause
The shadow of injustice hides us
From what we are, what we may be
It tries to fall upon us, forming, what we may call,
The cracks to our own crystals.

Fly my friend...fly away...
Don't let desire take over necessity.
Pay no heed to what the heroes say...
Remember, it's not their destiny.
The spikes of insult will pierce through,
But no we won't give up, so go on, be cruel.

Wings of ashes, of the last phoenix will live on.
For we'll forward the urn until a new dawn
The Dawn which will see us dying in the fight.
But we shall not die; we will stand up brave like Knights
The sword will be red with victory
So come my friends... let's join hands to make history...

So, Rise my friends...Rise to the cause...
Ride past barriers on Revolution's Horse.
Snap through wires and pull down walls
Watch out people, we won't accept Earth's fall
We shall rise, my friends...from guitars to harps...
Music shall accompany us to our cenotaphs...
