Contravene - In Darkness lyrics

The sun rises once again Swallow the night has come to end Lay down your weapons, lie down my friends For the night will soon be here again. And the bright light screams across the sky And I am forced to face what I despise A land torn apart by greed Their lust for money, their power, we feed And millions search the ground for scraps In this system we fall between the cracks Rise up together, rise up as one Dismantle their system We've only begun And as the night falls The darkness is setting in Lay down your weapons, lie down my friends In the darkness is when we make our choice In the darkness is when we raise our voice Cause we can live like slaves in this capitalist society Or raise our voice and let our actions show just what we can be A real functioning community with a real f**ing purpose Without all the greed We can make this sh** happen but its going to take more than just you & me. We have to reach out and establish a real resistance And the words alone are not enough Our actions have to be persistent We can't ever let up or even show a weakness Because if we do they're surely going to beat us Rise up, raise up your voice We have to work together and we have to make a choice Another 500 years of oppression and hate Or start to rebuild before its too late Raise up your voice Don't take their sh** Solidarity is a weapon Let's start using it Raise up your weapons, stand up and fight Join the resistance for all that is right Raise up your weapons, rise up my friends See hate and injustice come to an end.
