Commonwealth Rising

[Verse 1]
They said, “Stay back, sir”
By the broken gate
“Those mercs own the wastes
And they seal your fate”

But I seen that smoke
From the river bend
And I heard my people
Call for help again

[Pre-Chorus]
So I rode in hard
With the morning sun
Told them all plain truth
“This time, they run”

[Chorus]
Commonwealth rise up
Commonwealth rise up
Wipe that scum away
Commonwealth rise up
Freedom and order
Freedom and order
Hands on the line now
Commonwealth rise up (rise up)

[Verse 2]
President on the road
With the army close
Boots in the ash where
The black flags froze

Gunners on the ridge
Tried to hold the town
But we broke their pride
And we burned it down

Children on the stoop
Old men in the square
Saw the law return
Like clean cold air

[Pre-Chorus]
No more fear at night
No more kneel and bow
Hear that bell ring out
It starts right now

[Chorus]
Commonwealth rise up
Commonwealth rise up
Wipe that scum away
Commonwealth rise up
Freedom and order
Freedom and order
Hands on the line now
Commonwealth rise up (rise up)

[Bridge]
From the farms to the docks
From the rust to the sea
We don’t beg for peace
We take it free

Let the vultures run
Let the old chains snap
We were born for this
And we don’t look back

[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth rise up
Commonwealth rise up
Wipe that scum away
Commonwealth rise up
Freedom and order
Freedom and order
No one owns this land
Commonwealth rise up (rise up)
