Declaration - Counterfist

Honesty, all those years spent listening It was never there Just skin deep, or so it seemed. Losing piece by piece of a heart laid bare Brutally, misleading me. I didn't see He was always there Voices in my head, pushing me to fail I don't have the strength to be a Superman And tell these Voices in my head, I'm bleeding as they wail Tear it out, look in the mirror. That imposter's not me Voices in my head. I can break the chains I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me Misery, the suffering, plaguing me It was always there Buried deep, this isn't me. A conversation with an empty chair A desperate plea, for a change in me. I hear him whisper, I was always there Voices in my head, pushing me to fail I don't have the strength to be a Superman And tell these Voices in my head, I'm bleeding as they wail Tear it out, look in the mirror. That imposter's not me Voices in my head. I can break the chains I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me My life does have purpose I am not destined to repeat all that has come before this Because of Him I'll break the chains Voices in my head, pushing me to fail I don't have the strength to be a Superman And tell these Voices in my head, I'm bleeding as they wail Tear it out, look in the mirror. That imposter's not me Voices in my head. I can break the chains I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me I'll survive and become stronger than you've ever known me

Look how long they brought us down here Have us imbounded right through this hell Fussin' and fightin' among ourselves Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters Took us away from civilisation Brought us to slave in these deep plantations Fussin' and fightin' among ourselves Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters Took us away from civilisation Brought us to slave in these deep plantations Fussin' and fightin' among ourselves Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters

A desperate situation Forced to retaliation The task ahead a burden Men will suffer, that's for certain We'll charge into the fire The cause, we must inspire We raise our fists to tyranny A high price, freedom is not free The odds are stacked against us But with our resolve relentless And arrogance their weakness Our cause is just, we won't be beaten Upon this declaration Will come a brand new nation Where men are seen as equal Governed by and for the people Chorus: So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day For independence I will fight With liberty I will defy So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day Give me liberty or give me death I'll fight 'till my last breath With virtue as our beacon Our cause is charged as treason Battle worn and starving Through the hell of war we'll keep marching The birth of our new nation An act of desperation We'll force King George down to his knees Capitulation Chorus
