Lyrics[]
Friends listen closely I won't say this twice
Hope's running out and we haven't much time
Please understand
That the life we once planned on is over
Now is the time you must fight for your lives
The battle is on you're already inside
Don't turn back now
There's nowhere to hide
Nowhere to build a new world
Nowhere to start anew
Here. Now. Is all that we've got
Ready or not
There's a war to be fought
Only one way through
This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlighten a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder
Out of the ashes a new flame ignite
Rise up from shadows and into the light
We'll stand undivided
Our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
This time
This warning is dire my words you must hear
A kingdom in shambles our downfall is near
Yet I still believe that the peace
We'll achieve's growing closer
But first blood must spill like the wine at a feast
The calm only comes once the carnage has ceased
Fight or die
There'll be no release
No way to avoid the warfare
No way to escape this strife
Hear now-listen to me
This time retreat
Spells our final defeat
We must win our life
This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlighten a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder
Out of the ashes a new flame ignite
Rise up from shadows and into the light
We'll stand undivided
Our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
This time
It's time
The world sees what we're made of
It's time
We change the spite to love
It's time
To save our fate
And walk beside
The human race
The past is gone and soon behind us
Victory through trust and kindness
Heal now-we will restore
The path we've been shown
Too long fighting our own
We will win this war
This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlighten a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder
Out of the ashes a new flame ignite
Rise up from shadows and into the light
We'll stand undivided
Our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
This time[1]
