Tyranny
Rising Against Tyranny: A Anthem of Rebellion and Redemption
Lyrics
We lay on barricades, our home's a broken space
We find ourselves on barricades, and our environment is shattered and damaged.
No future to delight on, salvation never came
There's no hopeful future to anticipate, and any expected salvation has not arrived.
Irritation and vanity will tear our sanity
Irritation and excessive pride threaten our mental well-being.
Trapped in captivity with no boundaries
We are confined without limits or freedom.
We must not bow, we must gather our bolds
We are determined not to submit, but instead, we will unite and strengthen ourselves.
We will not bend despite their whipping threats
Despite facing intimidating threats, we refuse to yield or break.
We're starving for redemption, we can't escape
We crave redemption but feel trapped, unable to escape our circumstances.
Those rulers taking over, they're leading us astray
The rulers in power are misleading and diverting us from the right path.
This isn't our decision, to stay in chains
We are not willingly choosing to remain in chains or captivity.
We're praying for a savior, to rise against their sway
We are hoping for a savior to rise against the oppressive influence.
This isn't our decision to stay in chains
Similar to line 9, emphasizing that our situation is not by choice.
We're praying for a savior to rise against their sway
Reiteration of the desire for a savior to resist the prevailing control.
Right now we can't be disguised
We cannot hide our true selves or intentions at this moment.
We must fight for what we think is right
We must actively fight for what we believe is right.
We must not bow, we must gather our bolds
Reiteration of the determination not to yield, emphasizing unity.
We will not bend despite their whipping threats
Despite facing threats, we will not be swayed or intimidated.
Right now our life is on the line
Our lives are currently in grave danger or risk.
Our future will be molded
Our future is yet to be shaped or determined by our actions.
We're starving for redemption, we can't escape
Similar to line 7, expressing the yearning for redemption while feeling trapped.
Those rulers taking over, they're leading us astray
Reiteration of the idea that current leaders are leading us astray.
This is not our choice, to stay in chains
Emphasizing that being in chains is not a choice we are making willingly.
Let's start a riot
An expression of a desire to rebel or protest against the current state of affairs.
We lay on barricades, our home's a broken space
Repetition of the initial situation on barricades and in a broken home.
No future to delight on, salvation never came
Reiteration of the lack of a positive future and the absence of salvation.
We lay on barricades, our home's a broken space
Repetition of the initial situation on barricades and in a broken home.
No future to delight on, salvation never came
Reiteration of the lack of a positive future and the absence of salvation.
