12. Tragedy and Triumph (6:41)
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 songs of our triumph
To maintain our current state we must try to elevate
Our minds and our future
We lived through their lies
Now 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
We lived through their lies
Now 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
We lived through their lies
Now 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
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
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 songs of our triumph
To maintain our current state we must try to elevate
Our minds and our future
We lived through their lies
Now 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
