lyrics

Awoken everyday into this world that I despise
Those around me pushing for a shallow taste of power
Fighting for the ones that manufacture our demise
I'm staring in to see behind the veil from which they cower
Green yields to gray, stone yields to steel
Those opposing progress are crushed under their heel
We will stop at nothing until we choke out the sun
Yeah, you've heard this shit, but what can be done?
We can rattle the bars [x3]

And now I'm pacing like an animal who's yearning to be free
Consumed by the belief that I alone can see this world die
I look around and realize this can't be all on me
It's a part of human nature to continue asking why
I can barely believe how far we've come
And I can barely believe how far we have to go
You can't stop us now
But it's a race against time when the best of our kind just barely
Rattle the bars
It's not enough, it's just not enough that
We can rattle the bars
But it's the place we start, to break these chains apart
We can scream our vision so loud we shake the prison

In a world where stone yields to steel
Never be content with the strength of your will
The only true power is the one in your mind
And in the people who stand by you till the day that you die
We are the ones gazing out of the cage, when these bars won't break no matter how great the rage
We forge our heaven inside this hell, it's the rise of our power from within this cell
Combined strength
So one day
These bars might break
