Sticks and stones took a toll on me
But they aren't your strongest weaponry
You can take your shots but you best prepare
I can see smoke rising in the air
Every move has a counter act
To turn the tides with a planned attack
You push me down, and the rest will rise
But first I'm singing a battle cry

Fuses burn and wheels will turn
The ones who lie will never learn
It's all been done a dozen times
The ones who lie pay for their crimes
Now it's time to tell the truth
The darkest hearts aren't bulletproof
The guns are drawn and your weakness showed
The path to war is the longest road

Scars and wounds from the battleground
Mark the moments that our drive was found
I've been beaten down in ages past
And I have seen how long the fire will last
Fleeting thoughts don't take the prize
And I've seen the doubt within your eyes
When the movement comes and the people rise
I'll be the first one leading the battle cry

Spent centuries forgetting
This bloodstained path you're setting
You know I've seen it all before
Those with the constitution
To stand for revolution
Write what the future has in store
Don't hide the lies we can see
Don't feed the fire within me
You strike me down and I'll be rising once again
Don't doubt the fear that you know
Don't miss what history shows
The war path will lead us to your end
