about

A rebel anthem

lyrics

If we just follow where we are led, we may be forced to bend our heads
for the ones who speak the loudest, are not always the proudest
while voices in the distance, cry out in resistance
I won't lay down in my darkest hour
won't let nobody take my power from me

What was know as the Patriot act, shall be known as the traitors pact
for those who would trade our liberty for security, deserve neither
what really gives us power cannot be protected by a wall or a guard tower
and all the fences and the bullets cannot give us what we need
If we want to live in justice, then let's drive out those who would crush us
under the stone of lies and the bitter weight of greed
I won't lay down in my darkest hour
won't let nobody take my power from me

When their words are ringing hollow and still they are asking you to swallow
The trade they made, your freedoms for the blindfold of a slave
Then stories of the Stronger, rise up again to teach our younger
for our innermost histories are accessible in need
And to those who would go later, be not a sucker nor a hater
for the road ahead is littered with those who fail to dream
I won't lay down in my darkest hour
won't let nobody take my power
I won't lay down in my darkest hour
won't let nobody take my power
