Revolution

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tommy Karevik] I stand before you blood of mine A simple man of simple words I expect no songs of praise when I am dead Let my lament of endless gray Light a fire in your hands To forge a future we can call our own [Pre-Chorus 1: Tommy Karevik & Alissa White-Gluz] So rise to the sound of revolution! [Chorus: Tommy Karevik & Alissa White-Gluz] Revolution Elevation to a higher ground Revolution The last solution for our kind [Verse 2: Tommy Karevik] I speak to you The chosen ones With all our strength, we stand aligned The pending birth of war will break the silence! A second chance will wait for us To redeem us from our craving And the thirst for what was once forbidden [Pre-Chorus 2: Tommy Karevik & Alissa White-Gluz] We are breaking the walls from inside So rise to the sound of revolution [Chorus: Tommy Karevik & Alissa White-Gluz] Revolution Elevation to a higher ground Revolution The last solution for our kind [Bridge: Alissa White-Gluz] Citizen Zero Are you ready for the war? Crows... cluster... riot! Burn... the cage... down... Riot! [Instrumental Breakdown] [Verse 3: Tommy Karevik] Standing in the ashes The echoes of our past The smoke has cleared There are shards of broken mirrors everywhere We are standing at the crossroads Afraid, but not alone A thousand missing faces A story of a rose In honor of their sacrifice A new life can be born I'm grateful, and I leave this world With no regrets at all As life is pouring out of me With all the power left in me I raise my voice... [Outro: Tommy Karevik & Alissa White-Gluz] Revolution Elevation to a higher ground Revolution Retribution In the sound Revelation for the human mind Revolution The last solution for our kind
