Lyrics

Revolution comes our way today
It's just another way
To forget it all
To end it all


We are sick
And we are tired
Of this course you've put us
On and on again


It's time to make a stand
Revolution forms a band
And we shall not fail
Like you have
Like you have


Revolution comes our way today
It's just another way
To forget it all
To end it all


Uprising uprising uprising
Our bodies fill the streets
Puddles of blood beneat our feet


Uprising uprising uprising
Uprising uprising uprising


To forget it all
To end it all
To forget it all
To end it all
To end it all
To end it all
