Lyrics
Things are changing and time only knows
Change is occurring, and time is the only entity aware of it
They’ve let down a nation, the fear within grows
Leaders have disappointed a nation, causing fear to grow within its people
War’s been senseless and another won’t change
Wars have lacked meaning, and starting another won't bring about any change
Anything to good, they’re sick of your games
Anything positive is disliked by those in power; they are tired of their manipulative tactics
A nation is dying while the leaders feast
A nation is suffering while its leaders enjoy luxuries
The peoples rebellion’s soon to be unleashed
The rebellion of the people is about to begin
But where will they go? I don’t know
Uncertainty about the destination or outcome of the rebellion
Red and black, beyond devastated
Symbolizing devastation and chaos
Red and black, they’re calling that night
Referring to a specific night associated with turmoil and chaos
Red and black, beyond devastated
Reiterating the devastation and chaos
Storming millions breaking the line
A massive number of people forcefully breaking through barriers
The big man dethroned and taken from might
A powerful figure losing authority and might
Lady liberty is waving the flame
Symbolically referring to freedom with a flame, suggesting resistance
The end of the rebellion shall not end the game
Ending the rebellion won't conclude the struggle
The cheer turning silent, hope’s black as the night
Hope is diminishing, and optimism is fading
They’re left without guidance, no solution in sight
The people are left without direction or a visible solution
And where will we go? I don’t know
Expressing uncertainty about the future
People waiting for a sign,
People are awaiting a sign or indication
Too many seek for power, tension’s growing in their minds
Too many individuals seek power, causing tension and conflict
`Til they find themselves forming sides
People are forming opposing sides
The friend becomes enemy, separating all
Friends turn into enemies, dividing everyone
What’s once been a family, another war
What was once a unified family now faces another conflict or war
Raging gunfire fills the night
Describing intense and chaotic scenes of violence
Reign of terror, peace denied
There's a reign of terror, denying peace
And when there’s a new one to put fear in their heads
New figures bring fear but justice remains inactive
The hammers of justice unmoved yet again
Symbolizing the lack of action or change despite the need for justice
Don’t ask where we go, I don’t know
Repeating uncertainty about the future
