When the darkness closed in all around 
It didn't bring us down 
It only made stronger for those days 
When they turned our dreams to distant thoughts 
The embers still burned hot 
And now the flames will blaze 

So let them burn 
They set the fire 
Now we can see 
How they conspire 
But they've been shattered 
Like broken glass 
And now we're building better worlds 
On the ashes of the past 

When oppression came here from all sides 
We didn't take their lies 
We saw a revolution rising 
When they asked us why we're not the same 
We wouldn't play their game 
We are the voices crying 

But no the battle isn't won 
The war has only just begun 
And we'll keep fighting, keep building, a better place for us 
And if they strike us down tonight 
We'll sear the darkness with the light 
It's revolution time, and you're on our side 

So let them burn (So we'll let them) 
They set the fire (burn tonight) 
Now we can see (Watch the flames light) 
How they conspire (Up the sky) 
But they've been shattered (Shattered like a) 
Like broken glass (Broken glass) 
And now we're building better worlds 
On the ashes of the past
