[Verse 1: Sharon den Adel]

As cold as stone, they march in darkness

Enslaving the young and killing their fathers

But soon they'll know the path they've chosen

Has carved their faith in stone

[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix]

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We rise against, we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Chorus: Sharon den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix]

Red tears run down like a river

Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear

No fear you wanna end the pain

Don't let go, don't back down, hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning

(Bring the reckoning)

[Post-Chorus: Sharon den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix]

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We rise against, we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Verse 2: Jacoby Shaddix]

We're all alone, walking in twilight

The night has been long, and so many have fallen

Feel no remorse, light will be breaking

Our freedom is worth it all

[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix]

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Chorus: Sharon den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix]

Red tears run down like a river

Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear

No fear you wanna end the pain

Don't let go, don't back down, hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning

[Bridge: Sharon den Adel, Sharon den Adel & Jacoby Shaddix]

I see your face, find peace of mind

Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning

The end of war, the great divine

We'll see the day of reckoning

[Outro: Sharon den Adel, Sharon den Adel & Jacoby Shaddix]

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We rise against, we'll always hold the line

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line of reckoning

We'll bring the reckoning

In blood and tears, a thousand times

We rise against, we'll always hold the line of reckoning
