Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse]
Yes-ter-day,
The men in black came to take them
away from their homes and their friends
They were told,
Their thoughts and words were too bold
and they'd never be heard from again
As the days pass us by there can be no more doubt,
They clearly intend to wipe all of us out,
And ensure that the cause in which we all believe,
Is sent to the grave yard of their history.
[Pre-Chorus]
Though it may seem too much for us to take
And though our hearts are so filled with pain
We must not ever bend, or bow, or break
And our conviction will light us our way
[Chorus]
It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
Though it may seem too much for us to take
And though our hearts are so filled with pain
We must not ever bend, or bow, or break
And our conviction will light us our way
[Chorus]
It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn
[Chorus]
It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn
[Verse]
Long a-go
In times of darkness and woe
When a man would defy their decree
They would take
The renegade to the stake
And would burn him for all to see
Now they burn us with slander and burn us with lies,
To make sure people are mute to our cries.
But the burning that drives us is deep in our hearts,
And no desperate tyrant will tear us apart.
[Pre-Chorus]
Though it may seem too much for us to take
And though our hearts are so filled with pain
We must not ever bend, or bow, or break
And our conviction will light us our way
[Chorus]
It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn

[Pre-Chorus]
Though it may seem too much for us to take

We must not ever bend, or bow, or break
And our conviction will light us our way
[Chorus]
It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn
