For the first time I am wide awake
With new resolve that cannot break
Build from scraps of battles lost and broken dreams
I know the cost of standing still
With half shut eyes
It struggles slow until it dies
The fire burns out and embers glow
And where it died now nothing grows
Until we rise and choose the fight
Another day dissolves to night
And what is wrong will carry on
And greet us each and every dawn
When we walk away from standing still
Be sure our resolve is to kill
Or give in each and every night
The one that sleeps will kill tonight
The game that we follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
Run away from anything that breaks your day
But don't hide from what comes out at night
Someday we'll wake the fire that burns inside
Or blind eyes will never see the light
The game that you follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
The warning shot was so strong that they never fired a gun
Awake and I see red, you feed the war I feel the dead
No four walls will keep me in, I break them down and I break them in
Turn off the seeing eye, let go the fear that cheats and lies
Down the curtain, let it fall
Bring me their heads, now let them roll
The game that you follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
The warning shot was so strong that they never fired a gun
