The First Stone

Heads bowed down, walking the line Afraid to look up, afraid of the sign Cameras tracking every breath we take Swallowing truth for survival's sake A city of ghosts in a sterile cage Afraid to turn the final page But someone has to strike the match Someone's gotta break the latch I see the terror in your eyes But I refuse to live their lies I will be the voice when you have no sound! I will stand tall on this shattered ground! Let the watchers stare, let the sirens ring I am the first stone in the sling! Stand behind me, watch the empire fall I’ll be the shadow that breaks the wall! The hounds are unleashed, the warrants are signed They want me erased, out of sight, out of mind The suits in the towers think fear is a chain But blood in the streets is a permanent stain They try to silence the words that I speak But I am the strength for the weary and weak Cause someone has to strike the match Someone's gotta break the latch I see the terror in your eyes But I refuse to live their lies I will be the voice when you have no sound! I will stand tall on this shattered ground! Let the watchers stare, let the sirens ring I am the first stone in the sling! Stand behind me, watch the empire fall I’ll be the shadow that breaks the wall! Don't hide in the dark, don't swallow the fear! The end of their reign is drawing near! One voice is a target, a million's a wave It's time to remember we're nobody's slave! Lift up your heads! Lift up your heads! I will be the voice when you have no sound! We will stand tall on this shattered ground! Let the watchers stare, let the sirens ring We are the stones in the sling! Watch the empire fall! We are the shadows that break the wall! Break the wall! Break the wall!
