Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I hear the chants, I see the fists,
A world on fire, truths dismissed.
The hatred’s rising, cracks sear the stone,
How did this chaos become our home?
They march with rage, their hearts filled with spite,
Blinded by shadows, deaf to the light.
Don’t you see, the stories on repeat?
The same dark whispers, the same cold streets.(Pre-Chorus)
Imagine the world through their eyes,
Walking through flames while the innocent die.
Lying at the feet of Hitler’s ghost,
When does the line break? When is the cost too close?(Chorus)
Ashes of our own making fill the sky,
Will we burn it all down for another lie?
Death to hate, not to hearts or lands,
Let’s build a bridge with these trembling hands.
Freedom can’t come from the smoke of despair,
Strip off the masks, show the face that you wear.
We fought the devil once, bled to be free,
Don’t you dare forget that history.(Verse 2)
Your screams of “justice” poison the air,
While you torch the dreams of the unaware.
You say you're fighting for equality’s name,
But your hands hold daggers, your hearts play games.
Why hate the Jew, the man at prayer,
Who walks the hallways just trying to care?
You couldn’t fathom their endless fight,
Through centuries burned but still shining bright.(Pre-Chorus)
What if it were you in their place?
Erased from life, denied your space?
Don’t preach of tolerance wearing the guise,
Of someone who thrives on division and lies.(Chorus)
Ashes of our own making fill the sky,
Will we burn it all down for another lie?
Death to hate, not to hearts or lands,
Let’s build a bridge with these trembling hands.
Freedom can’t come from the smoke of despair,
Strip off the masks, show the face that you wear.
We fought the devil once, bled to be free,
Don’t you dare forget that history.(Bridge)
Remember Normandy, the beaches red.
The lives we gave, the tears we shed.
Against fascist flames, the world once stood,
Will we falter now in our neighborhoods?
Put down your rage; lift hope, not hate,
It’s not too late to change this fate.(Outro)
America’s burning, but we hold the hose,
The power is ours to douse these foes.
United, not broken, we rise once again,
Hand in hand with our fellow men.
Because ashes of our own making still smell of pain,
Let’s rebuild the world without this chain.
The past is a lesson; the fire must cease,
Let us stand together, and fight for peace.
