Somewhere overhead 
Distant thunder roars 
The revolution has begun 
The war to end all wars

As I welcome death 
I hear the battle cry 
Bullets fall like fire 
Raining from the sky

The rebel in us all 
Someday gets tired of being pushed around 
But freedom has a price 
The cost is buried in the ground

We suffered far too long 
We gather now growing stronger 
We will not be ignored
Anymore any longer 
Our anthem will guide us

Rise up, be counted 
Stand strong and unite 
Wait for the outcry 
Resistance is calling tonight

Far too many years 
Of chaos and unrest 
Far too many voices 
Brutally suppressed

We fight for what is just 
For all that we believe 
We fight till death of glory 
Fight to be set free

The streets are bathed in blood 
Time to step down 
and time to walk away 
You'll never rule me now 
Though you may stand upon my grave

You can look the other way
Or you can face the light 
Although is seems so far away
Freedom's worth the fight

Rise up, be counted 
Stand strong and unite 
Wait for the outcry 
Resistance is calling

Rise up, be counted 
Stand strong and unite 
Wait for the outcry 
Resistance is calling tonight

The world watches on 
While we risk our lives 
Locked in a kingdom of fear
As our children die
