We are proud individuals
Living for the city
But the flames
Couldn't go much higher
We find God and religions
To bait 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
Oh that's life
That's 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 we'll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that's
fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
You've just got to hold on
You've just got to hold on
（Charlie Chaplin's speech from The Great Dictator）
To those who can hear me
I say do not despair
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 perish
Don't give yourselves
to these unnatural men
machine men with machine
minds and machine hearts
You are not machines
You are not cattle
You are men 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 we'll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that's
fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Into freedom
From which we'll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that's
fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Freedom
From which we'll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that's
fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Freedom freedom
rain on me
Rain on me
