[Verse 1]
Rumor is you're trying to save us
Reimagine and rename us
You're burning all the books in this town
But you can't destroy the words in our mouths
So do yourself a little favor
No one asked for a crusader

Forever rings a life lived out loud
The shock, the peal, the sound
Forget the pain and let the drum bang out
The echo, it catches on
[Verse 2]
Do your best to terrorize us
Vilify and minimize us
If we're wicked, then you're wretched
Take your sheep, wе'll keep the blessed

Or will you suffer from exposure?
[Chorus]
Forever rings a life lived out loud
The shock, the peal, the sound
Forget the pain and let the drum bang out
The echo, it catches on
[Chorus]
Forever rings a life lived out loud
The shock, the peal, the sound
Forget the pain and let the drum bang out
The echo, it catches on
You're never alone, we're always with you now
The words, the beat, the sound
