How ironic is fighting for peace?
How iconic is a life on your knees?
How psychotic is it to think no one believes
until the first stone hits and the first head bleeds?
Because words are only words
and storytellers are dead
we gotta take what we deserve,
and don't just take what we get
We'll destroy to rebuild and take control
and rather die left standing than living like a ghost
And while everybody's marching to the sound of reflection
we're dancing to the beat of our hearts
and while everybody's blinded by the image of perfection
We're proud to compare all of our scars
And enough is enough is enough is enough
Only sky's the limit - but, tell me, where does it start?
life painted us, but how do we treat art?
We take care of it, this is a war of love
(Hook)
Light the torch, stand up proud
"here I am, I am free", say it loud!
If dreams are worth defending
If dreams are worth defending
Have no fear, don't show pain
just get up, make them remember your name
If dreams are worth defending
If dreams are worth defending
Question everything you know to find a greater sense
and build everything around you upon empty hands
Draw a line in the sand, decide where you wanna stand
the hardest choices are the ones who really make the man
under pressure, perceive the chance
drops of sweat on your forehead
And I guess that's how teen spirit smells
We only live free if we are ready to die
clench your fist, severe look, run, eye for an eye
We're beautiful but broken
we got dreams but we're hopeless
We're the ones left standing in the rain
but welcome change with arms wide open
my body aches from your mistakes
my mouth bleeds trying not to speak
but I won't give up on me
as long as the drum in my chest still beats
This is the calm before the storm
Hold your breath
been living like this too long
burn the crown, the king is dead
you wanna play with matches?
or do you wanna start a fire?
Let's change the world
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
(Hook)
Light the torch, stand up proud
"here I am, I am free", say it loud!
If dreams are worth defending
If dreams are worth defending
Have no fear, don't show pain
just get up, make them remember your name
If dreams are worth defending
If dreams are worth defending
