Paroles

VERSE 1
We’ve been fed lies, boxed and tamed
Lulled by comfort, stripped of flame
But you can’t kill a heart that’s learned
To rise from ashes and let it burn

We ain’t the crowd you thought you knew
We’re the storm behind the red, white and blue
One voice cracks, then thousands swell
We’re not afraid to raise some hell

PRE-CHORUS
No more silence, no more chains
No more hiding in their games
The tide has turned, the roots are loud
We stand. We fight. We won’t back down

CHORUS
Rise up!—from the static, from the scream
Rise up!—we’re the lost American dream
With fists of fire, and hearts unbowed
We were quiet once… but never now

Rise up!—let ‘em tremble when we roar
We’re not just echoes—we’re *the war*
You built the cage, but missed the spark
We’re coming back… and we leave a mark

VERSE 2
You sold us lies in freedom’s skin
Told us losing was a kind of win
But liberty don’t wear disguise
And we were born to recognize

You fear the ones who won’t comply
Who speak with fire and won’t live shy
We plant our flag in truth, not trend—
And we don’t break. We *don’t pretend.*

BRIDGE (chanted, group vocals)
We. Are. Not. Your. Puppets.
We. Are. Not. Your. Fear.
We are the voices rising
Now *we’re crystal clear.*

FINAL CHORUS (explosive, harmonized)
Rise up!—for every name they drowned
Rise up!—for the flags they pulled down
We’re not your sheep, your tool, your bait
We’re *the people*—we create

Rise up!—for the working hands
The truth, the blood, the broken plans
We light this fire across their stage—
And *burn the silence into rage*
