Dream Theater

Outcry


Somewhere over head
Distant thunder rolls
The revolution has begun
The war to end all wars

As I welcome death
I hear the battlecry
Bullets fall like fire raining from the sky

The rebel in us all
Something is tired of being pushed around
But freedom has a price
The cost is buried in the ground

We suffered far too long
We gather now
Growing stronger
We will not be ignored
Anymore
Any longer
Our anthem will guide us

Rise up be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight

Far too many years
Of chaos and unrest
Far too many voices
Brutally supressed
We fight for what is just
For all that we believe
We fight to death for glory
Fight to be set free

The streets are paved in blood
Time to step down and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon my grave

You can look the other way
Or you can face the light
Although it seems so far away
Freedom's worth the fight

Rise up be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is going
Rise up be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight

The world watches on
While we risk our lives
Locked in a kingdom of fear
As our children die
