[Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell.]

|
Screaming for mercy
|
Why can't they hear me?
|
These nights are filled with heartache
|
These nights are filled with an empty glass
|
|
Just turn us up and step aside
|
We know you very well
|
We know what dwells down deep inside
|
Come see this from the past
|
'cause the cynics said it would not last
|
Now watch them disappear
|
The truth will begin right here
|
|
These streets will burn behind you
|
As tradition breaks tonight
|
Go forth and tell the world
|
We have arrived
|
|
Our spirits clad in black
|
This color runs down my back
|
and leads me to your home
|
The channel never has it
|
Shift to automatic
|
It?s how the cycle goes
|
Then see what they really know
|
|
[Lead: DeGroot]
|
|
These are the signs of our times
|
Take what you want and leave all the rest
|
Hearken back to reclaim your creation
|
and break this tradition
|
|
[Lead: Stell]
|
[Lead: DeGroot]
|
|
For years we have wandered in dismay
|
Now here we stand as one
|
Stronger than you?ve ever known
|
|
The loss of innocence became your saving grace
|
|
What can we do right now?
|
What more can we say?
|
|
Fuel the rage
|
Echo salvation
|
|
They'll never run us out
|
We're martyrs in the making
|
Look deep into their eyes
|
They're ripe for the taking
|
Erase all the lines and get back in the fold
|
This is the day and age
|
Of monumental growth and change
|
|
These streets will burn behind you
|
As tradition breaks tonight
|
Go forth and tell the world
|
You have arrived
|
