"Pawns & Kings" lyrics
"Pawns & Kings"
Tear down the walls
And show your courage as you heed the call
Embarking on the journey yet to come
There is no time to waste
The wretched and heartless take
Your future if you let their will be done
Stand up and hold your ground
Don't let the bastards grind you down
It's time to show the devil what we are
Surrender never more
Though deep inside we're battle worn
We'll never let them tear this land apart
For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns we could be kings
If we believe
Against all odds we will survive
Release the hounds of doom
Unsheathe the blade we cannot lose
We're fighting for the only thing we've known
And when it's said and done
Our victory is gained for love
A worthy sacrifice of flesh and blood
For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns we could be kings
If we believe
Against all odds we will survive
The last shall be first
Give it time
If in the end we're still alive
Our victory
Will prove in time that we were right all along
We must stand up for all that we are
We must fight till the dawn
Till the last of their kind are gone
Stand your ground
Hold your head high
Your honor for your life
Stand your ground
Don't compromise
Your courage their demise
For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns we could be kings
The meek shall sing this song tonight
For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns we could be kings
If we believe
Against all odds we will survive
The last shall be first
Give it time
If in the end we're still alive
Our victory will justify
That we are right where we belong
Pawns and kings
Let sovereign wings
Give strength where there is none
Pawns and kings
The meek shall sing
Until God's will is done
