We are proud individuals
Living for the city
But the flames couldn't go much higher
We find God and religion
To paint us with salvation
But no one
no nobody
Can give you the power
To rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky
that's fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Thatās dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society
From which weāll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky
thatās fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
You just got to hold onļ¼
You just got to hold onļ¼
ļ¼Charlie Chaplinās speech from The Great Dictatorļ¼ ļ¼
To those who can hear me, I say, do not despairļ¼
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
and the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perishļ¼
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men ā
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machinesļ¼
you are not cattleļ¼
you are menļ¼
You, the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful
to make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us use that power!
Let us all unite!
And weāll rise
over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
Thatās fast becoming our minds
Over fear
Into freedom
Into freedom!
From which weāll rise
over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
Thatās fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
From which weāll rise
over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
Thatās fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
Rain on me!
Rain on me!
