about

You have a dozen palaces, but we have a million torches. Do you think your bricks will hold us back forever?

lyrics

Created in the grace of our darkest days
Speeding up the pace of this pointless race
Made of stone and time, they cement our lives
But if we burn them down, you may realize

So we
Burn them down
To the ground

You can stay in your safe place all the night
Lock all the doors shut the windows, close your eyes
You tore the bridges, took the stones, build the palace of your own, melted our axes and our plows so you can wear your worthless crown
But you know, we will never give up the fight

And we will
Take your crown
And melt it down
Into a plow

---

It's up to us
We have crossed the widest rivers
We have reached the farthest shores
To mine the stones for you walls

But it's time for all to enjoy
The achievements of yesterday
There is no promise of next life
The next life is too far away, when you say

This is how you did it always
That is how you do it now
We did not build this place for nothing
It must survive the test of time

The beauty of our tradition
Is beyond any words you say
We control your minds and bodies
Because it's always been this way

But we never lie
We say what we see with our eyes
We see you prey on our grief, anger, surprise
Yet we wait for our time

And we wait
for the sun
to shine

But it never shines
To the depth of the burrows where we hide
From serving to enrich your own lives
From which we are about to rise

Because if there is no tomorrow
Then there is no today
If there's no future to fear for
No force
stands in
our way
