We Hold the Door

Lyrics: [Verse 1] How many more must die before the world wakes up? While you sleep in your beds, we keep the darkness back. You don’t see the war when it’s not outside your door. I used to be just like you — I didn’t care before. Then war came to my home. And everything changed. I learned what freedom costs when someone comes to take it away. [Pre-Chorus] You shake hands with the butcher while we bury another son. You call it “business as usual” — we call it what it’s done. [Chorus] WE WILL STAND! YOU WILL NOT BREAK US! WE DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS WAR — BUT WE WON’T LET IT TAKE US! WE ARE THE SHIELD! WE ARE THE SWORD! WHILE THE WORLD LOOKS AWAY — WE HOLD THE DOOR! [Verse 2] You count your money. I count the hours till dawn. Your children sleep in safety. Ours learn when to run. Our children lose their limbs. Some never make it home. You call it “far away” — we call it someone’s son. You trade with the killer. You shake his bloody hand. But blood doesn’t disappear when profit takes command. [Pre-Chorus] You think you’re safe because the bombs aren’t there. But madness needs no border. It only needs you not to care. [Chorus] WE WILL STAND! YOU WILL NOT BREAK US! WE DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS WAR — BUT WE WON’T LET IT TAKE US! WE ARE THE SHIELD! WE ARE THE SWORD! WHILE THE WORLD LOOKS AWAY — WE HOLD THE DOOR! [Bridge] Our enemy is yours. He threatens the world with nuclear fire. You think your silence will keep you safe? You think your money can stop a madman? Wake. The. Fuck. Up. [Final Chorus] WE WILL STAND! YOU WILL NOT BREAK US! WE DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS WAR — BUT WE WON’T LET IT TAKE US! WE ARE THE SHIELD! WE ARE THE SWORD! WHILE THE WORLD IS SLEEPING — WE HOLD THE DOOR! WE HOLD THE DOOR! WE HOLD THE DOOR! How many more? HOW MANY MORE? [Outro] We didn’t choose this war. We didn’t ask for this. But we chose to stand. Shield and sword. Until the end.
