Lyrics
They stack the rules to crush the ones who crawl below We burn the script and watch the crooked system fall Every tower is locked with keys that only power holds We scrape for air while liars feast on stolen gold The laws they write are blades that cut the weak in two We scream our names but justice hides and turns to glue Children trade their futures for a crust of bitter bread The towers mock the broken lines, we walk until we're dead No hand reaches down to lift the weight that bends our spines We sharpen every word until the silence shatters fine Red! We rise and tear the veil that hides their endless greed No more chains of silence no more planets seen We are the fire they can't drown the voice they can't erase Social walls are crumbling we take back every space We take back every space We take back every space We build a dream in pieces while we fight for scraps of light The judges wear the masks of those who steal our nights We drag the truth through alleys where the hopeful used to stand And build a new foundation from the ruins in our hands Rise and tear the veil that hides their endless greed No more chains of silence no more planets seen We are the fire they can't drown the voice they can't erase Social walls are crumbling, we take back every space No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear Rise and tear the veil that hides their endless greed No more chains of silence no more planets seen We are the fire they can't drown the voice they can't erase Social walls are crumbling we take back every space We break the old illusions we make the future clear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear No mercy for the crown that feeds on every tear We break the old illusions we make the future clear We break the old illusions we make the future clear We break the old illusions we make the future clear We break the old illusions we make the future clear
