Rise Against the Empire

[Verse]
Shadows stretch where the light should fall
Silent whispers behind the wall
Chains so light you can’t feel their weight
But they’re tightening
Mate
It’s getting late

[Chorus]
Let us rise let us roar let us break down the door
No more quiet no more still let them hear our hearts will
Let us rise let us cry let the truth pierce the sky
Against the empire
We stand
Hand in hand

[Verse 2]
They serve us lies on a golden plate
Call it progress but it’s just bait
The towers shine but the ground decays
We’ve been walking blind in a smoky haze

[Prechorus]
But the spark is alive in the ash
Feel the pulse of the thunder clash

[Chorus]
Let us rise let us roar let us break down the door
No more quiet no more still let them hear our hearts will
Let us rise let us cry let the truth pierce the sky
Against the empire
We stand
Hand in hand

[Bridge]
If not now
Then when will we see
If not us
Then who will it be
The silent screams
The unheard plea
Time to rewrite this history
