The train tracks lead to an endless road The briars and thorns make a heavy load The stones are uneven the feet of travelers heavily scared People trying to push through a gate with a heavy guard They raise the flags and their voices Cursing the rulers for their choices The dogs bark and the people scream We are all on the losing team A call for freedom a call to fight I call to end the dark and reunite the light People stand and people fall Those who stood strong and tall Words falling on deaf ears A path winding through the years A silent scream to help the lost But you turn and count the cost You hurt the weak and beat the lame But you should cry and turn in shame You think you know what you stand for But you stand behind a shut door What do you want, what can I give So that the ones I love can live I only need water, I only need bread But I only have my hope instead You strike my head, and spit in my face You need the thrill and love the chase You don't know how strong we are We are never close and never far You can't always be strong We lie in wait until the dawn We raise our weapons and banners high We must give it one last try The statues fall into the dirt A lesson taught a lesson learnt The strength of our hearts and the sweat of our brows Was a heavy cost, to bring a terrible ruler down

Rebellion
The train tracks lead to an endless road The briars and thorns make a heavy load The stones are uneven the feet of travelers heavily scared People trying to push through a gate with a heavy guard They raise the flags and their voices Cursing the rulers for their choices The dogs bark and the people scream We are all on the losing team A call for freedom a call to fight I call to end the dark and reunite the light People stand and people fall Those who stood strong and tall Words falling on deaf ears A path winding through the years A silent scream to help the lost But you turn and count the cost You hurt the weak and beat the lame But you should cry and turn in shame You think you know what you stand for But you stand behind a shut door What do you want, what can I give So that the ones I love can live I only need water, I only need bread But I only have my hope instead You strike my head, and spit in my face You need the thrill and love the chase You don't know how strong we are We are never close and never far You can't always be strong We lie in wait until the dawn We raise our weapons and banners high We must give it one last try The statues fall into the dirt A lesson taught a lesson learnt The strength of our hearts and the sweat of our brows Was a heavy cost, to bring a terrible ruler down
