The Uprise Lyrics by Famous Last Words

Council of the Dead

2014

[Verse 1]
And we've been set free from the grip of isolation
From the torment of corrupt and immoral sovereignty
They brought us peace at, at the price so unforgiving
So we commend their selfless deeds
Cause now we're finally living
[Chorus]
We, we won't let go (No)
And we will stand up, round up everyone that we know (Woah)
And we will gather young and old to fight this war
They gave us hope (Hope)
So we will stand proud, cast out hatred from our homes (Woah)
We will never let go
[Verse 2]
They fell as they choked on their own words
Our heroes put them all to shame in their places
Cowering in disgrace
They read the stories through our scars
These words will dictate who we are no more
[Breakdown]
Break out of the implacable, ruthless hold
Eager to live so we'll finally take control
Enough with the despicable, savage shit
Malevolent, it's time to stand up and fight this
[Pre-Chorus]
We hold our homes, and we'll destroy the evil (We)
[Chorus]
We, we won't let go (No)
And we will stand up, round up everyone that we know (Woah)
And we will gather young and old to fight this war
They gave us hope (Hope)
So we will stand proud, cast out hatred from our homes (Woah)
We will never let go
[Spoken Bridge]
Dear heroes, before you arrived, we were sad and afraid
We thank you for your sacrifice, your deaths won't be in vain
After the torture and pain that we had to undergo
We want you all to know
[Bridge]
They can break our bones
They can beat us, whip us, throw stones
But they can't break our souls
They can try, but they'll be unable to have our lives
Our existence and our freedom
We won't back down and we'll never be defeated
We will rise
[Chorus]
We, we won't let go (No)
And we will stand up, round up everyone that we know (Woah)
And we will gather young and old to fight this war
They gave us hope (Hope)
So we will stand proud, cast out hatred from our homes (Woah)
We will never let go
[Spoken Outro]
The devoted and strong will always live on
