You, the people, have the power
We are proud individuals living on the city But the flames couldnât go much higher We find gods and religions to To paint us with salvation
But no one No nobody Can give you the powerTo rise over love And over hate Through this iron sky Thatâs fast becoming our minds Over fear and into freedom
Oh, thatâs life Left dripping down the walls Of a dream that cannot breathe In this harsh reality Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind Serves now to define our cold society
From which weâll rise over love Over hate From this iron sky Thatâs fast becoming our minds Over fear and into freedom
You just got to hold on! You just got to hold on!
Oh oh oh oh
To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress The hate of men will pass, and dictators die And the power they took from the people will return to the people And so long as men die, liberty will never perish Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful To make this life a wonderful adventure Let us use that power! Let us all unite!
And weâll rise over love And over hate Through this iron sky Thatâs fast becoming our minds Over fear And into freedom Into freedom!
From which weâll rise over love And over hate Through this iron sky Thatâs fast becoming our minds Over fear and into freedom Freedom!
Oh, from which weâll rise over love And over hate Through this iron sky Thatâs fast becoming our minds Over fear and into freedom
Freedom! Freedom! Rain on me!
