[Verse]
They sit on thrones of glass so high
While we walk streets where dreams do die
Steel gates tower they guard the gold
Their hearts are icy their lies so bold
[Verse 2]
We carry stones while they drink wine
We bleed for crumbs they call divine
The laughter echoes from their halls
While shadows stretch on crumbling walls
[Chorus]
Oh rise up rise up hear the call
Don’t let them watch us as we fall
The chains they forge we’ll surely break
The dawn will rise when the earth awakes
[Verse 3]
They hide their crowns behind the skies
On our bent backs their empire thrives
They gild their tears to mask the smirk
While sleepless hands do all the work
[Bridge]
But winds will shift and towers sway
What’s built on pain will not long stay
The whispers grow the fire ignites
The horizon trembles with the fight
[Chorus]
Oh rise up rise up hear the call
Don’t let them watch us as we fall
The chains they forge we’ll surely break
The dawn will rise when the earth awakes
