And the earthegins to shake
A cacophony of roaring
An"iety growing
2heers to leaving this mortal life behind
sweat begins its downpour
A riot we stand for
The blackout foreshadows the chaos
So raise your voices with me
And sing this song of unitySo raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
4ike a rift, opened in the sky
Through fire, pulses and lightning
*hile thunderous sounds ring
2hanting hymns to leave life’s troubles behind
This time shared together is .ust so much better
Than life could ever offer
So raise your voices with me
And sing this song of unity
So raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
So raise your voices with me
And sing this song of unity
So raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
So raise your voices with meAnd sing this song of unity
So raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
So raise your voices with me
And sing this song of unity
So raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
