[Verse: Cristina Scabbia]
Stumbling, I almost fall
Walkin' blind in this decay
It's sending shivers down my spine again
Can't be running for our lives
We're still fightin' for our land
Fight for somethin' we don't understand
[Pre-Chorus: Cristina]
We need to free ourselves now
Then, become...
More human...
[Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Frozen hearts
Empty eyes
We've seen it all before
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Mother's tears
Vicious eyes
We've seen it all before
[Verse: Cristina]
Suddenly I'm on my own
I got lost along the way
I feel cold but keep the fire in me
Despite all broken dreams
We're still planning our defence
Against somethin' we don't wanna be
[Pre-Chorus: Cristina]
We need to free ourselves now
Then, become...
Just human...
[Chorus: Andrea]
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Frozen hearts
Empty eyes
We've seen it all before
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Mother's tears
Vicious eyes
We've seen it all before
[Bridge: Cristina, Andrea]
People told me I was weak
I told them I'll never quit
I will never quit
(I'll never...)
People told me I was weak
I told them I'll never quit
I will never quit
(I'll never...)
Never break me down
Never break me down again
[Pre-Chorus: Cristina]
We need to free ourselves now
Then, become...
Just human...
[Chorus: Andrea]
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Frozen hearts
Empty eyes
We've seen it all before
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Mother's tears
Vicious eyes
We've seen it all before
[Outro: Andrea, Cristina]
I don't want to hear no more
The rotten lies I heard before
Never break me down again
I cannot burn inside this hell
(Vengeance...)
I think it's taking over me
(Vengeance...)
You'll never run away from me
