Bursts of orders can’t pierce my armour of pride Your authority I detest; your rules I can’t abide Dehumanised and reduced by the evil empire Rebel for any cause I choose; I’ll set your world on fire It’s time to break the bars of the gilded cage Claim my rightful place on the main stage (I’ll) stand and fight without remorse (I’ll) stand and fight with love and rage for any cause The time has come for rebellion Tears and pain won’t crush my steadfast resistance The chain will hold; your efforts will only boost my persistence I’ll do whatever it takes to make my voice heard Humanity’s only hope; I remain undeterred I have to get out of the gilded cage Assert my true place on the world stage

Ashes 03:47
Death swooped from the sky A show of force unjustified Our leader courageous until the end Present now and evermore At the end of a world Which millions will bewail In the ruins of a dream We watch the beast prevail All those voices silenced By a jester wearing the crown Sing in defiance In the ashes of our world you will drown Salvation swooped from the sky Withering hope left no other choice False prophets compelled to kneel Before the angel of liberty At the end of a world For which few will ever yearn Their delusions had brought us Close to the point of no return For all their slanderous eloquence We have nothing but scorn Unwaveringly From the ashes of a fool’s paradise we’ll soar

Are common people simply deaf, dumb and blind Detached from reality, immune to fear? We don't speak in riddles or use words that boggle your mind Our message should be loud and clear The ignorant and egoistic Eradicate! No more talk and kid gloves It’s revolution – no holds barred Exit stage left for the doves Now the curtain falls on the old guard No more Mr Nice Guy We won’t change the rules but the game Let the flag of morality fly Go out there and feed the flames It's not enough to summon demons of the past To make people do penance for their sins We need actions not just images and words To ensure the rightful party wins The insensitive and uncaring Annihilate!

All the world’s wisdom condensed in a single thought No deviation allowed! Firm beliefs are stronger than reason Precincts are clear-cut; there’s no common ground So, tune in to the… (Radio) For compassion and mass guilt, they’re calling (Radio) Shut your ears, close your eyes, and tune in to the doomsday radio Relics and heirlooms detached from their context Lack of understanding - it’s hate at first sight! Faults and wisdom; the borderline is blurred Why bother reading? Let’s burn and re-write! So, you think you’re right, do you? Wait until you see what you have done But you won’t understand, of course Not until the chips are down
