Uprising - Fall Of An Empire

Warsaw Rise! Do you remember when, When the Nazis forced their rule on Poland 1939 and the allies turned away From the underground Rose a hope of freedom as a whisper City in despair, but they never lost their faith Women, men and children fight They were dying side by side And the blood they shed upon the streets Was a sacrifice willingly paid Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 1944 help that never came Calling Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you Warszawo, walcz! (Warsaw, fight!) Spirit, soul and heart In accordance with the old traditions 1944 still the allies turn away Fighting street to street In a time of hope and desperation Did it on their own and they never lost their faith Women, men and children fight They were dying side by side And the blood they shed upon the streets Was a sacrifice willingly paid Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 1944 help that never came Calling Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you Warszawo, walcz! (Warsaw, fight!) All the streetlights in the city Broken many years ago Break the curfew, hide in sewers Warsaw, it's time to rise now All the streetlights in the city Broken many years ago Break the curfew, hide in sewers Warsaw, it's time to rise now Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 1944 help that never came Calling Warsaw, city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you Warszawa, walcz! (Warsaw, fight!)

The paranoia is in bloom The P.R. transmissions will resume They'll try to push drugs, keep us all dumbed down And hope that we will never see the truth around, so come on Another promise, another scene, another Packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed with all the Green belts wrapped around our minds and endless Red tape to keep the truth confined, so come on They will not force us And they will stop degrading us And they will not control us We will be victorious, so come on Interchanging mind control Come let the revolution take its toll If you could flick a switch and open your third eye You'd see that we should never be afraid to die So come on Rise up and take the power back It's time the fat cats had a heart attack You know that their time is coming to an end We have to unify and watch our flag ascend So come on They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious, so come on Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious, so come on Hey, hey, hey, hey

Dark rain falls The portents of war, closing in In the furtherst reaches of the kingdom's hold A new will burns, making blood run cold Deep under mountains, a portal awoke A time of trouble, of which a prophecy spoke An army of men, an emblem unknown They come not for peace - send word to the throne Let loose the horses, for south we must ride To marshal an army to hold back this tide We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire They came to conquer, and desecrate our land We must retaliate, we must take a stand For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire All that we know comes to an end If our ancient homeland we cannot defend For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as we ride If we fall today, tomorrow will never come We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire All that we know comes to an end If our ancient homeland we cannot defend For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as we ride

Within these words, I'll hide the contempt for the purpose I serve. Silently, I withhold my resolve, and pursue, while my dignity dissolves, A bit more everyday... I'll hold on to the end, and fight my resentment. You see, I have succumbed, in order to complete, what must be done. Stand tall, to keep faith and fight. Take up arms, and prepare, for the, onslaught. Prepare yourself. Concealed in shadows, there are weaknesses. I have uncloaked them, to reveal their impurities. I lay, concealed, awake, in hopes of finding safety from their, Unrelenting, beatings, which they have organized in spite Of all, your own, actions, which we have followed to a "T" But we, have been, displaced, we have been driven from our course. The battle rages on, as my mind begins to sway. I am redeemed through consequence, but my guilt is still in play. But the fact of the matter is, is that I've sacrificed, Everything I am, while I was standing here for you. Prepare yourself, just save yourself. There is no escaping, we must strive to alter fate, In order to recover, from this faltered state. Within these words, I hid the contempt for the purpose I served silently. I withheld my resolve, and pursued, while my dignity dissolved.

This is my confession I have lost all of my friends I've lost more than that And I don't know if I can get it back I've gone off the deep end Can't seem to find my way home A broken man confides Choking out a long bitter goodbye This is my diary My sonnet my symphony All my fears I can find in thee My blood, my sweat, my tyranny You would need my eyes If you were to see That I am just me Not the demon you made me to be Why weeps the willow A sadness in the root says i A smoky diary that billows A cloud of sorrow with each sigh
