lyrics

Eyes open, but you couldn’t see
That it doesn’t have to end in misery
This is no way to live
This is no way to be, this is no way to be

In like a lamb, out like a lion
Black blood on the pavement,
Nothing but silence
Heavy like war, Hector has fallen
Peace is no more, We will arise & be satisfied
Oh, we will arise

Watch out here it comes
The last ones shall be first
The first ones shall be last
Watch out here it comes
The last ones shall be first
The first ones shall be last

We will arise and be satisfied
We will arise and be satisfied
We will arise and be satisfied
Oh, we will arise

Watch out here it comes
The last ones shall be first
The first ones shall be last
Watch out here it comes
The last ones shall be first
The first ones shall be last

Eyes open, but you couldn’t see
That it doesn’t have to end in misery
This is no way to live
This is no way to be, this is no way to be
