From the recording 6.1.4
Anthem is a song about those in power who attack our rights and freedoms to suppress our voice and how we must all “take a stand” together to stop this abuse.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wish we’d take the time
to realize our own demise,
I wish I’d thought to fight
instead of stifle all my cries,
There’s a time to climb, To pull the cloth from our eyes
Pre-Chorus
How can we let them lie With things that burn our rights,
I’m sure they knew all along, They’re feeding us their wrongs
Chorus
So fed up, take a stand and tear the wall down
So get up, understand, we gotta tear the walls down
Verse 2
I see the way we are,
we dim just like a dying star,
We bleed our souls with words
like open winds and blackened scars
Our precious time is drifting through… So crystal clear its nothing new
Pre-Chorus
There is no place to cower, why can’t we even try,
We force the courage outwards, and in ourselves we find…
Chorus
So fed up, take a stand and tear the wall down
So get up, understand, we gotta tear the walls down
Bridge
This is for the next generation… We have to build for the young
There is no time for impulse delegation… A new anthem will be sung
