The light inside us/Burns ever brightest

Our downfall won't be/The only way out

Held tight the standard/Through smoke and fire

With blood and iron/Our fathers paid for today

Bravest mothers/Raised sons and daughters

Through horrors/To witness the end...

The light inside us/Burns ever brightest

Our downfall won't be/The only way out

...guiding all we are/Stacks of zeros and ones

Complacently led us astray/Is "safe" the only way?

Crowned by fear/As "Saviours",

They grin and leer/"Our saviours"

From distant noises/The loudest voices

Should guide our choices/Let history scream

So turn the page again/Rewrite a better end

With no need to play pretend/For a decent today

Not our Downfall…

This won't be our Downfall, because

The light inside us/Burns ever brightest

When we reject that/Our downfall's the only way out
