we′ve been asleep for much too long
we’ve been asleep for much too long
we′re wide awake and what’s for sure

we won’t take this anymore

i don′t wanna live, don′t wanna die
never in this way, not before my time
brother if you doubt, look into my eyes
take my hand now, don’t take your time

see the eagle fly, the raven die
feel the shockwave, spread nationwide
sister if you doubt, look into my heart
only through my blood they′ll tear us apart

will they call me a traitor when they knock on my door?
scream to the sky, it’s time to arise!
will they call me a coward when i fall to the fire?
i can still hear the cries, we must arise!

if ashes we become, nothing but dust
still believe in me and lend me your trust
if in the end they destroy my clan
know i lived a ghost, but died like a man

brother, listen to my heart
together we will stand, united we shout
sister, look through my eyes
tell the whole world, we must arise!

call me a hero when they knock on my door
scream to the sky, it′s time to arise!
remember my name when i fall to the fire
i can still hear the cries, we must arise!

we’ve been asleep for much too long
we′ve been asleep for much too long
we’ve been asleep for much too long
too long, too long
we’ve been asleep for much too long
we′ve been asleep for much too long
we′ve been asleep for much too long
we won’t take this anymore

they will call me a traitor when they knock on my door
scream to the sky, it′s time to arise!
they will call me a coward when i fall to the fire
i can still hear the cries, we must arise!!!
call me a hero when they knock on my door
scream to the sky, it’s time to arise!
remember my name when i fall to the fire
i can still hear the cries, we must arise!!
