At a time when war ravaged the land
False leaders spewing corrupt lies
Puppets controlled by Greed's hand
But the people grew unruly and let out a cry
With an unquenchable thirst for freedom
Marching past all obstacles they come
Filled with youth and set upon a new age
And the people grew unruly with rage
Lived their lives like sheep in a pen
Tearing their way out of their cage
If they fell, they were ready to fall again
For the people grew unruly and were ready to turn the page
A lion's ferocity had awoken within them somewhere deep inside
No longer burdened with a faded dream, their hearts their sole guide
Truth now a loaded gun and Hope now the dream beyond the sunset
Now the people grew unruly and set off leaving no regrets
Artists to paint a future where all would reside in peace
Banishing the traitors, lest they make it fall to pieces
Authors to write a new chapter, a second chance
Taking the hands of their words to begin the dance
