[Verse 1]

Staring at the flames, burning your past life

It's determined that your fate won't guide you no more

Standing on the edge, breathin' the failure

Of a city that betrayed the voices of hope

[Verse 2]

The higher the mountain, the longer the trail

Your strength and conviction will let you prevail

They're looking for a cause to justify all their crimes

Our freedom put on pause to drive the scheme they devise

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Strike down the hands that choke, defend who won't compromise

Fightin' is easy when you're filled by the rage of hope

Should we just burn all to the ground and intend for more?

Or has this mediocrity got the best of us?

[Chorus]

We keep walkin' on the trail of demise

We keep kneelin' for the heroes

They pay our homage with a knife to the heart

We keep allowing us to wither
