Fire With Fire

The world is burning.
Fall asleep.
Dream.
Nightmare.

You wanna know what I've been through?
Been through pain you can't undo.

The world is burning.
Inhabitants of graves turning
Sky falling
Stars aligning
It's my time for revenge.

We've been a quiet mouse for too long
The oppressive world was far too strong
We couldn't speak out in our fear
And now our time for vendetta draws near.

You wanna feel our chains?
They've been tightly shackling our brains.

The rising of the Standing One is clear
In a world of injustice and evil, he will soon appear
Revolt and overthrow the tyrants
Fight fire with fire.

We will destroy currency
The root of all evil and lunacy.
We will free the world from its prison
Unite all races in schism.
Replace the crooks we have as dictators
Erase those who turned our world into craters

We will extinguish the fires
Subdue the liars
Establish a just system
Become a righteous kingdom.

And we will all Stand as one
And establish the utopia we dreamed about.

Dreamed.
Dream.
Now awake.
Utopia? No such thing. I'm dreaming again.
The world will continue to burn 
With no end, and no return.
