Red Velvet Revolt

Is this the life you will keep
Shadows lay their claim on the land
Will you rise or will you sleep?
The power waits for those who take command

(Friends, I love war)

Words of power I can't deny
Orders have cut through quiet lives
I cannot speak
I dare not speak

Banners are raised, and you see them wave
And defiance always proves in vain
Edicts have worked their way far down the chain
I'm amazed

They'll give you proofs one by one
Just to put you on their side
But why?
When they gates are tried
They're closed tight

How long have we been silent letting every command crush what we knew?
Do you, see what's coming through? (Yeah, Yeah)
Do you? (Alright, Alright)

We're storming through
Nothing gets in our way
All that you built
Will bend to what we say
They tore us down
And they will regret that
It's time to charge
And we will not turn back

All that's in our way will hit the floor
We don't forget we just settle the score
We are ready and will pay the price
Better step fast or be buried alive

Do you want change for tired ways?
Nothing else will stay except remains
Silence betrays
Alway betrays

Our will denied, their power applied
In the square burns a shadowed design
Every voice reassigned, truth is disguised
Tongues are tied

A rule will bend under a weight it cannot override
Oh my
No more will I hide
Not this time (No more)

The Earth shakes from footsteps
And from something waking deep beneath the ground
Way down
Do you hear hidden sound? (Yeah, Yeah)
All around? (Right now, Right now)

I'm storming through
Nothing gets in my way
All that you built
Will bend to what I say
They tore us down
And they will regret that
It's time to charge and I will not turn back

All that's in my way will hit the floor
I don't get mad, I just settle the score
I am ready and will pay the price
Better step first or get buried alive

(Do you wish for further war as I do?
Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest
Leaving not even ravens to scavenge from this Earth?)
