I know there's a way, deep down in my soul A way we can fix what is wrong in our world I know there's a light, there's a glimmer of hope But it's just out of reach at the moment you know I feel a constant ache in the bottom of my heart And a longing to be more than who I was born And a desperate search for a better home For a child too young to know And the odds are stacked against I know that there's hatred, I know it runs deep It's a part of the system we must never give in to And when times get tough, well I need you to know You'll never be facing the world on your own I feel a constant ache in the bottom of my heart And a need to belong before I am gone And in the back of my mind, I know something isn't right So I need you to understand We are the voiceless We are the third class We are the desperate We are the damned We are the outcast We've been pushed back We're the beaten down parts of a second chance There's a constant ache in the bottom of my heart A constant ache in the bottom of my heart A constant ache in the bottom of my heart A constant ache in the bottom of my heart I feel a constant ache in the bottom of my heart And a longing to be more than who I was born And a desperate search for a better home For a child too young to know And the odds are stacked against

You act like it's no problem when you lie and when you cheat And you never fucking listen so we shout it in the streets and You smear us in your papers or you crush us with police but we all know Yeah we all know You think you're oh so different but I know you're all the same There's a million starving children in a country with your name on And everything you've broken well you say that we're to blame Like we should be ashamed, and be afraid But we still sing (we still fight) We won't run We survive (we still fight) We're not done Not by a long shot You say that we're a threat and you diminish our beliefs Like a fair and just society is completely out of reach And you say that there's no money on that magic money tree But we all know, where it all goes. You smile and you laugh like you think it's a game But the whole fucking system's in need of a change And while liars and racists are given the stage you're still not afraid To shift the blame. But we still sing (we still fight) We won't run We survive (we still fight) We're not done Not by a long shot

7 days have passed, since the war started Yet to hear the sound of guns Through the pride of a nation, but underfunded We're told we'll overcome And I'm not even convinced we'll see Any money for armour that we didn't crowd fund But when nobody's listening then we fear the worst's yet to come 30 days have passed, since the war started Some of us will not return Through a cloud of lies and empty words Clearly showing no concern And none of us are quite sure we'll be Quite as safe as we could've been all along And the rest of the world is watching Wondering what's going wrong 40 days have passed, since the war started Many sick and old have died And the armour, they promised long ago Somehow still has not arrived 50 days have passed, and I have had 3 more emails this morning, just to say 3 more people I knew died on the weekend Not forgotten, but betrayed And on the front lines, all I see are Mothers, fathers, children, risk their lives Sacrificial, unprotected heroes But expendable in their eyes And every Thursday I hear the thunder And every Friday I hear the lies And every single second hypocrisy Grows behind a vacous smile

Broken and disillusioned We won't kneel down and beg To start a revolution It only takes one breath And we can stand up proud, and we can raise our voices loud Hear a million whispers - turn into a shout And if we work together, we can hold our ground And if we don't back down, we will be heard again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Let the anger into your heart You're gonna need it to fight We can fuel it from the ashes of the life we had to leave behind Burn the memories into your mind In case you ever forget Until the moment you take your last breath Until there's nothing left Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Give away a part of your soul For the ones who need it more It doesn't matter if it's damaged or some Parts are ripped and torn Trade in the rest of your life For what we'll get in return And in this moment you can burn as bright as Bright as you ever burned Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again) Let the anger into your heart (rise again, rise again)

Gwrandewch nawr plant ifanc, rhaid i chi glywed stori hon. Mae'n amser i chi dysgu'r ffeithiau mwyaf pwysig y byd. Ar draws y wlad ni'n galw gartref, mae 'na bobl greulon sy'n tyfu tew a mwy cyfoethog gan ledu celwyddau Rhaid i chi gofio Fydd neb, fydd neb, yn y llywodraeth, o'ch gwlad Rhoi anghenion chi, neu'r anghenion fi, yn uwch na eu buddiannau Edrychwch nawr, plantos bach, mae hyn digwydd o'ch cwmpas Mae'r cyfle i chi newid yr agweddau o deulu a ffrindiau chi â Neges fach i wneud gwahaniaeth, a bywyd gwell i ni A chamau bach i greu dyfodol hoffwn i weld, i chi Rhaid i chi gofio Fydd neb, fydd neb, yn y llywodraeth, o'ch gwlad Rhoi anghenion chi, neu'r anghenion fi, yn uwch na eu buddiannau Translation: Listen now, young children, you must hear this story It's time for you to learn the most important facts in the world Across the land that we call home, there are cruel people Who grow fat and more wealthy by spreading lies You have to remember No one, no one, in the government of your land Will put your needs, or my needs, above their own interests Look now, little children, this is happening around you There is an opportunity for you to change the attitudes of your family and friends With a small message to make a different, and a better life for us And small steps to create a future I would like to see for you You have to remember No one, no one, in the government of your land Will put your needs, or my needs, above their own interests

We never sought responsibility We never asked to see things differently But we always felt an empathy, an emptiness inside In this cruel and ruined society, we're damned to be alive And we can see the end of the world that we know And we can sit here hand in hand and watch it burn And we can shape the ashes to a world of our own And when i see it in my heart - it feels like home We aren't fighting for ourselves alone And if you're with us then you're never really on your own There's a million minds we'll never change, the brainwashed status quo And even if we build a better world, they'll never wanna go But we can see the end of the world we were sold Where bigotry and greed are placed upon a throne And we can sense the end of the road, we can hear the death knell, as our numbers they grow, we can stand, we can fight, without fear in our hearts, we can whisper or scream from the morning til night, we can challenge oppression or take to the streets, and it all makes a difference, we give what we can, and we never give up, and we never back down, in the dark, in the rain, in the cold empty towns While there's breath in our lungs, while there's blood in our veins we will never stop fighting and striving for change 'Cos we can see the end of the world that we know And we'll be singing arm in arm as it burns And then we'll shape the ashes to a world of our own And when i see it in my heart - it feels like home
