lyrics
Their eyes are cold, judgment loud. You shouldn't dream so much, or so proud. Know your place. Shut your mouth. Play the game with smiles, all empty, as you drown.
They're just scared of the fire in your eyes. Better than they know, if you can just survive.
Cuz this is for the ones we've lost, whose lights faded away. This is for the price that wasn't theirs, but cowards made them pay. This is our battle cry, to scream "This stops today". We'll bleed but we'll survive and know we'll win for them, someday. This is for the ones we've lost. This is for the ones we've lost.
Another day, another fight. Fair's a fantasy when they've got loaded dice. But tables turn, and we can win. Every empire falls and they'll pay for their sins.
They should fear that fire in your eyes. Stronger than you know, if you can just survive.
Cuz this is for the ones we've lost, whose lights faded away. This is for the price that wasn't theirs, but cowards made them pay. This is our battle cry, to scream "This stops today". We'll bleed but we'll survive and know we'll win for them, someday. This is for the ones we've lost. This is for the ones we've lost.
And they'll say, "It's your fault. Look what you've done." And they'll say, "That's just life", turn tail and run. That's because they know their kingdoms will burn, if only we learn what we're worth.
This is for the ones we've lost, whose lights faded away. This is for the price that wasn't theirs, but cowards made them pay. This is our battle cry, to scream "This stops today". We'll bleed but we'll survive and know we'll win for them, someday. This is for the ones we've lost. This is for the ones we've lost.
This is for the ones we've lost.
