Staring Down the Barrel

Staring Down the Barrel The sky is turning gray But the fire is awake Footsteps on the frozen ground Walking through the night Searching for a single spark A piece of fading light They tried to lock the shadows in Tried to freeze the clock But underneath the heavy ice The current starts to shock I can feel the static rise Moving through the floor The silence of a beating heart Before the final war The pressure's building up The glass begins to break Every promise that they made Is turning to a mistake The storm is at the door The waiting time is done We're staring down the barrel Of a loaded gun Run Run Run We are screaming through the static Breaking all the chains A sudden rush of thunder Flowing through the veins Tear down the iron sky Let the lightning out No more holding back tonight No more room for doubt Can you hear the matrix roar We are standing tall We're writing our own future On the burning wall Cold silver in the palm Memories of gold A dangerous connection That was never bought or sold No time for hesitation now No time to look behind We are the only waking souls In a world gone blind The matrix is dissolving fast The signal's getting clear And every single shadow Is about to disappear The pressure's building up The glass begins to break The storm is at the door The waiting time is done Let it out We are screaming through the static Breaking all the chains A sudden rush of thunder Flowing through the veins Tear down the iron sky Let the lightning out No more holding back tonight No more room for doubt And when the world goes dark And the signal dies away We will stand right in the center We will find a way Bring it down Now We are screaming through the static Breaking all the chains A sudden rush of thunder Flowing through the veins Tear down the iron sky Let the lightning out No more holding back tonight No more room for doubt We are standing tall The static fades away The storm is finally gone We broke the chains Carry on
