Army of Common Sense

[Verse 1]
They built their towers out of fear
Paper crowns and crooked laws
Told us
"Keep your voices down"
While they fed off every loss
But a whisper learns to walk
Then it runs from mouth to mouth
Common sense becomes a fire
Moving north and east and south
[Chorus]
We are the army of sense
Hearts in armor
Minds in step
Every hand
Another fence
They can’t hold us
Not this time
We are the army of sense
Every “why” becomes a line
Good will rise in our defense
Watch the dark fall back
Fall back
Fall back in line
[Verse 2]
They call it order
Call it peace
While they’re tightening the chain
But their numbers start to shake
When we start to count our pain
Every neighbor
Every friend
Every truth they tried to bend
Stands beside us
Shoulder straight
We’re the answer they defend against
[Chorus]
We are the army of sense
Hearts in armor
Minds in step
Every hand
Another fence
They can’t hold us
Not this time
We are the army of sense
Every “why” becomes a line
Good will rise in our defense
Watch the dark fall back
Fall back
Fall back in line
[Bridge]
No more kneeling to their fear (stand up)
No more swallowing their lies (speak up)
When we look each other in the eye
Their kingdom cracks
Their power dries
We’re the many
They’re the few
And we just remembered it’s true
[Chorus]
We are the army of sense
Hearts in armor
Minds in step
Every hand
Another fence
They can’t hold us
Not this time
We are the army of sense
Every “why” becomes a line
Good will rise in our defense
Watch the dark fall back
Fall back
Fall back in line

Anthemic modern rock with male vocals; steady tom-driven march in the verses, guitars held back and pulsing. Chorus explodes with open chords, octave lead line, and big gang shouts. Bridge drops to half-time with floor toms and low chant, then a final, uplifted chorus with stacked harmonies and crash-heavy drums.
