Tragedy and Triumph - Iced Earth

Here we stand

I know it’s always been our home

We’re awakened from our prison

A new day, it’s finally here

We walk the streets without fear

Our humanity has risen

Digging out those microchips

That kept us dormant to resist

Singing sings of current state

We must try to elevate

Our minds and our future

(Bridge)

We lived through their lies

No we’ll always keep

A conscious mind

And we hold our heads up high

We will never let our spirit die

The brave new world

You know it’s always been a lie

Pushed with their manipulation

Cast away the unseen chains

They shackle you a slave

Take control of your existence

Flushing out their poison ways

Live to fight another day

The time is now to start living

We’ve taken back our dignity

We are alive and we are free

A revolution of our spirit

(Bridge)

We lived through their lies

No we’ll always keep

A conscious mind

And we hold our heads up high

We will never let our spirit die

Time is on our side

We have prevailed

Humanity’s ultimate struggle

Hearts and minds

Are joined in victory

We are triumphant end eternal

Time is on our side

We have prevailed

Humanity’s ultimate struggle

Hearts and minds

Are joined in victory

We are triumphant end eternal

Here we stand

I know it’s always been our home

We can build a brand new future

A new day, it’s finally here

We live our lives without fear

Our humanity has risen

The task at hand to educate

So we don’t make the same mistake

Never take the road to serfdom

We are aware, we are awake

Dystopia we did escape

Never to repeat the nightmare

(Bridge)

We lived through their lies

No we’ll always keep

A conscious mind

And we hold our heads up high

We will never let our spirit die

Time is on our side

We have prevailed

Humanity’s ultimate struggle

Hearts and minds

Are joined in victory

We are triumphant end eternal

Time is on our side

We have prevailed

Humanity’s ultimate struggle

Hearts and minds

Are joined in victory

We are triumphant end eternal
