I woke up sweat soaked in the morning.
I was mourning freedom buried deep (mourning freedom buried deep)
In tickers and broadcasts through power lines.
Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines

(And we sing)

A nation in fervor has given up.
No, no, no, this fight has just begun.
As movements and revolutions as few and far between.
As movements and revolutions will ever come to be

[chorus]
This scare is blood soaked red (soaked red!).
I marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city burn.

(watch it burn, alright!)

It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again. [x2]

[chorus]

Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now... [x2]

We're coming back around. [x8]
