They Live - Calico System

They live despite attempts to stop and destroy our dreams

They’ll wish they never raised their hands to be our enemies

Fight through crowded halls of hate between these tears aflame

And show a love resting inside the heart of me

I know, crucify my heart because I am not letting go

I know, everyone else is dying

Death no longer frightens me

I am a heart of gold, I’m not ashamed of my life and its legacy

This is right for me

They live, they suffer, they choose their destiny

They live, they prosper, in the end its worth everything

Fear is not an option, I won’t have it in me, our hearts will endure

If we sacrifice everything

I know, crucify my heart because I am not letting go

I know, everyone else is dying

They live, they suffer, they choose their destiny

They live, they prosper, in the end its worth everything
