The Snake came from the desert sand
To desecrate our holy land
And now the soil bleeds black and red
With blood and oil you can't pretend's not there
His unholy band of thieves
Manipulate the most naive
And they will not hesitate
To spill the blood of those who don't believe
So on our knees we kiss the ring but soon the wind will catch our wings
And our ascent will coincide with your decline
WE WILL RISE
Oh mighty emperor who brings shame to our ancestors
Your intolerance exacerbates a dissonance that resonates
In every one of us who feel it's time the cord be cut
We face the circumstance of your foolish arrogance
Here come angelic choirs
Here comes the avalanche
Your power will expire
The time will come when
WE WILL RISE
With sharpened sticks and minds
We take the streets to unify
One hundred million strong we cannot watch you steer us wrong
We raised our voices high for them to hear our battle cry
All knowing governor we do not feel inferior
Voluntary ignorance must have been the key to your success
Freedom is the only prize
So out of darkness
WE WILL RISE
