As cold as stone They march in darkness Enslaving the young And killing their fathers But soon they'll know The path they've chosen Has carved their faith in stone In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line Of reckoning Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes it won't disappear No fear you wanna end the pain Don't let go Don't back down Hold the line We'll bring the reckoning (I'll bring the reckoning) In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line Of reckoning We're all alone Walking in twilight The night has been long And so many've fallen Feel no remorse Light will be breaking Our freedom is worth it all In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line Of reckoning Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes it won't disappear No fear you wanna end the pain Don't let go Don't back down Hold the line We'll bring the reckoning I see your face Find peace of mind Between the madness and sadness And the fire burning The end of war The great divine We'll see the day Of reckoning In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line Of reckoning We'll bring the reckoning In blood and tears A thousand times We rise against We'll always hold the line Of reckoning
