Words of the righteous we will not bend   The odds keep stacking up against   Strengthen our perseverance   Break down the cycle of errors past   We have to face up to the truth   Relinquish every upper roof      Every ounce of strength grasps   One solid dream   Violent soul will be whole   We have to face up to it   For every second we're alive   Let our light shine      To our grave we must pave   A path for us to rise from   Power surge kills the urge   Life and death collide      Smash all the boundaries that hold us down   Hold on to everything that loves   Let go of anything that starves   People with envy will hold us down   Freedom is just a cut away   Nothing can pass our life away      Every ounce of strength grasps   One solid dream   Violent soul will be whole   We have to face up to it   For every second of our lives   Let our lights shine      To our grave we must pave   A path for us to rise from   Power surge kills the urge   Life and death collide      Oh, we take life's ebb and flow   Testament to the things we know   With the fight we must roll   Strength will follow      Tooth and nail for the ground that we hold   Failures from the start but we still grow   Heads held high, rally for throne   Holding our own   Not just words we'll show you so      I can't remember   These doubts I must dismember   And trust in whole   What we all know      Block out all the hatred   That the world spews   Heads put to the grindstone   Trust in the truth
