lyrics

Today we learn the end that justifies the means.
Waiting for revolution from another's hand...
ends right now!

In silent streets policemen punish the unfed.
Established by a system built on the backs of the working dead, where blue lights try to drown what flourishes, when we resist their fear.
They try to beat us down, but still we rise.

We are the ones we're waiting for,
This is the here and now!
When they build a wall to keep us in place,
We can tear it down... and now's the time!

The city's ribs, the tenements..
hold hope and the strength to grow. It spreads in crowded basements and fills our our hollow bones. Resistance swells up through the floorboards when, we realize whats inside. It's louder than bombs and thicker than blood... Like flames in the darkest night.

We are the ones we're waiting for,
This the here and now!
When they build a wall to keep us in place,
We can tear it down!
