It started out as a splinter But became something stronger We won't bare arms but teeth And we'll last that much longer We can tell the years you've wasted And those you've dishonored This water runs thicker than blood And it runs forever The lies that we've faced, always And the truth was never told And here that we wait, patiently Still we fight and never fold We will hold faith for all days Because we took the fucking oath We made it out of the winter Losing strength but never colder We fought through tooth and nail Seeing red but getting better The lights will dim forever Unless we do something sooner The seeds of history have shown us all what we need to be In time we'll have the final say These bonds of misery, the chains will crack but never break
