[Verse 1]
They say you can't bear freedom, but we know you feel it's right
You are unique because of our shared purpose

Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood

Turn your eyes towards the sun
See the future beckon us

In our destiny, we trust
Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood
We were born to rise above
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
[Chorus]
Turn your eyes towards the sun
See the future beckon us
We can take the world as one
In our destiny, we trust
Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood
We were born to rule the world
