Nurturing their own needs
In order to gain influence
Empty words, hollowed out meaning
They all lay the foundations for double standards and hypocrisy
We need to stand up against the corruption
Preaching to the masses as you're trying to restrain them
Bottling up rage, trying to defuse the tension
Through once more introducing marshall law
But they do not even know
What we have in store for them
They don't know what we are capable of
It will cause a blowback
Lashing at the backs of everyone involved in this conspiracy
The sound crackles through the air
As the whip spills the blood of the oppressors
This is a callout to the masses
Their time in governance is up (is up)
Bow for the populace
Bow for the populace
||: Plant the flag of our newfound nation
In the backs of the former regime :||
This is… Our rebellion
This is our rebellion
Plant the flags in the backs of the former regime
This is our rebellion
