Dreaming men are haunted
The visions come and go
The age of god is over
I can feel it in my soul
Times will change and we complain
About law and retribution
Dead isn't what it used to be
And I come forth as gold

21 guns
The beat of the drums
We've only just begun

We don't run
From evils of the world outside
We don't run
We rise up and fight to survive
Oh we don't run

It's never if you suffer
It's never how you pray
Give all the faith you can muster
But the headlines will all read the same
You'll scare the kids with your fantasies
And your stories from the past
Time will change direction
And it happens way too fast

21 guns
The beat of the drums
We've only just begun

We don't run
From evils of the world outside
We don't run
We rise up and fight to survive
Oh we don't run
We don't run

21 guns
The beat of the drums
We've only just begun
We have a right
To shine a light
And have our day in the sun

We don't run
From evils of the world outside
We don't run
We rise up and fight to survive
Oh we don't run
Oh we don't run
We don't run
We don't run, we don't run, we don't run
We don't run
