lyrics

Holding a throne that they buy
Counting us sheep in a line
We'll ever know what they're like
We'll never see all their stripes
Hiding their gold out of sight
Keeping control of our lives

Rise now is the time we take it
Fight, bleeding from our heads but we won't back down
Fear in their eyes, they're shaking
Skies all turning red till they've given up
Now, it's about the time we take it
Fight, bleeding from our heads but we won't back down
Fear in their eyes, they're shaking
Skies all turning red till they've given up now

You'll live high
Don't comply
You'll survive
