Standing on the Grave of Yesterday

Counting the years locked in suffering
Waiting for someone to set you free
Plotting revenge for the tyranny
The fire burns your eyes
The lashes cracked your skin
The burning hatred of injustice wells within

Our time has come
Hiding in corridors and belfry towers
Boiling with a vengeance so pure
Now is the time to do or die

We are gonna break these chains
Burn in flames
Now and forever
Desire for victory remains
We will take them down
And the world will hear the sound
Standing on their empty grave
Oh no

Freed from the shackles we are one by one
Gathering swords that we took from them
In drunken sleep the foolish ones
Come morning storm the halls
Taste victory we will
Chaos be upon the king his blood will surely spill

Some men will fall
But never forgotten in the tales to come
Oh but know that those who remain
Marching for glory to be free

We are gonna break these chains
Burn in flames
Now and forever
Desire for victory remains
In my finest hour
And the world will feel my power
Standing on the empty grave of yesterday

We are gonna break these chains
Burn in flames
Now and forever
Desire for victory remains
In our finest hour
And the world will feel our power
Standing on their empty graves

We'll bring them hell and time will tell
Of battles fought and won
We'll hear them say
Goodbye to yesterday
And hail the rising sun

The pain of days
Won't get the best of me
Our time will come
