Staring at the flames, burning your past life It's determined that your fate won't guide you no more Standing on the edge, breathin' the failure Of a city that betrayed the voices of hope ♪ The higher the mountain, the longer the trail Your strength and conviction will let you prevail They're looking for a cause to justify all their crimes Our freedom put on pause to drive the scheme they devise ♪ Strike down the hands that choke, defend who won't compromise Fightin' is easy when you're filled by the rage of hope Should we just burn all to the ground and intend for more? Or has this mediocrity got the best of us? We keep walkin' on the trail of demise We keep kneelin' for their heroes They pay our homage with a knife to the heart We keep allowing us to wither!
