lyrics

"Uprising"

They said “it’s time let’s open fire"
we had no guns, no plans, no
reason to fight again
all we saw was marching death

and there was nothing left

we took our chance, we ran, we tried
we gave our dreams so you won't
feel the oppressing hand
our commander said it’s fair

your finest blood just drained!

how could you
just let them die
two hundred
thousand souls
whole city cries

see those scars that we wear?
nations’ empty shell
celebrating days of fear
failing to come clean

see those eyes full of hope?
asking what went wrong?
staring at field full of grief
ready to conceal

truth that made us fall
only truth can make us strong!
days of misbelief
is it all so hard to see?

break! fortress
let me see them all
break! fortress
of entangled tragic flaws

I said “let’s try, let’s open fire"
it isn’t brave to hide and
run for your life, I said:
"we have soldiers we have faith"

you play a losers game!

I heard the screams, I heard the cries
this is a sound of war that
keeps me awake at night
all I want is to escape

your finest blood just drained!

how could you
just let them die
two hundred
thousand souls
whole city cries

see those scars that we wear?
nations’ empty shell
celebrating days of fear
failing to come clean

see those eyes full of hope?
asking what went wrong?
staring at field full of grief
ready to conceal

truth that made us fall
only truth can make us strong!
days of misbelief
is it all so hard to see

there is a lesson for us all
black pages always show
our face in times of
darkness, now
we’ve got to….

break! fortress
let me see them all
break! fortress
stop denying I will

break! fortress
let me see you all
break! fortress
of denial we should
Know
