lyrics

This has been a long journey
We've travelled all this way just to see you
To hold you with our fingers
How dare you block us out
This will not stand
You should have opened your arms
When you had the chance
You'll feel it
Our revenge will come swift to your door
We're standing up
We'll never hold fast to your laws
We're breaking free
And leaving your prisons behind
Softly, and gently
We waited out the night
Watching, and longing
For a weakness in you steel
And now we've found it
We were too much for you
We'll hold on here forever
We can never lose this now
What's this?
No challenge coming from you
No strength to overrule
What's this?
What's this?
You're surely beaten now
They never knew they wanted it
I had to show them all their needs
To give them all the yearning
That would tear my soul apart
They're happy now
Now they know their lives are empty
Just full of holes and hanging on
Now they can be happy
In peace eternal
They'll all rot down
The machines will come and dig you up
Dig you up yeah they'll dig you up
The people won't take it anymore
That's what we said
They won't take it
But that's what they're for
Always just taking and never giving back
You people have failed me, yet here I stand
All alone I'll stand up to them
How dare you
Our people need to breathe
You opened your arms
You let them fall
In this ditch it ends
I wish I'd been you
I'd have given them the power
Taken once we'd earned it
Not fallen out for years
