When the darkness closed in all around
It didn't bring us down
It only made us stronger for those days
When they turned our dreams to distant thoughts
The embers still burned hot
And now the flames will blaze
So let them burn
They set the fire
Now we can see
How they conspire
But they've been shattered
Like broken glass
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
When oppression came here from all sides
We didn't take their lies
We saw a revolution rising
When they asked us why we're not the same
We wouldn't play their game
We are the voices crying
So let them burn
They set the fire
Now we can see
How they conspire
But they've been shattered
Like broken glass
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
But no the battle isn't won
The war has only just begun
And we'll keep fighting, keep building, a better place for us
And if they strike us down tonight
We'll sear the darkness with the light
It's revolution time, and you're on our side
So let them burn
They set the fire
Now we can see
How they conspire
But they've been shattered
Like broken glass
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
So let them burn
They set the fire
Now we can see
How they conspire
But they've been shattered
Like broken glass
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
So let them burn (So we'll let them)
They set the fire (burn tonight)
Now we can see (Watch the flames light)
How they conspire (Up the sky)
But they've been shattered (Shattered like a)
Like broken glass (Broken glass)
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
