The years passing by made them stronger
Fortressed their reign of decay
Voices of truth kept in silence
Threw dreams and wishes away
Now that you see the enslavement
Brought down by underworld kings
Move and get up from the pavement
Rise up and reclaim your wings

For a future so bright
That they kept out of sight
In the end we will rise

Raise the ramparts, man the guns
Blow them all to hell and back
Fight to reclaim what has been ours
Before the birth of the stars
Give them fire, give them hell
Stop when the last one is slain
Break out of your chains, rise unbound
Mankind her freedom she found

For ages they plotted our downfall
Played us like puppets of old
Hiding the truth all around us
Made us so distant and cold
Open your eyes look around you
Nothing is what it may seem
Awaken the spirit inside you
Fight to the end for a dream

For a future so bright
That they kept out of sight
In the end we will rise

Raise the ramparts, man the guns
Blow them all to hell and back
Fight to reclaim what has been ours
Before the birth of the stars
Give them fire, give them hell
Stop when the last one is slain
Break out of your chains, rise unbound
Mankind her freedom she found
