Ashes for Power NOMORE ANTHONY ALBONESE (Remix)

[Verse 1] We watched the halls grow cold With promises made of rust Empty hands on a borrowed throne And every word turned dust The papers piled up high The streets kept counting cost But every working day in pain Was another trust we lost [Pre-Chorus] Now the crowd is waking Now the line gets drawn Every broken pledge you dragged us through Is burning at the dawn [Chorus] The people have spoken The people stand strong No more taking from the many No more dragging us along The people have spoken The people stand strong God, bring the proud down low Where the guilty don't belong [Verse 2] We saw the smiles in glass We saw the polished lies While families counted every bill And watched the truth get tied No crown can outlast reckoning No mask can hide the stain The ones who fed on trust and fear Will answer in the rain [Pre-Chorus] Now the crowd is waking Now the line gets drawn Every broken pledge you dragged us through Is burning at the dawn [Chorus] The people have spoken The people stand strong No more taking from the many No more dragging us along The people have spoken The people stand strong God, bring the proud down low Where the guilty don't belong [Bridge] Let the iron gates shake Let the false lights fade If justice sleeps, then wake it up And cut through every shade We will not bow again We will not kneel in fear Australia, rise and hold the line The end of waste is here [Final Chorus] The people have spoken The people stand strong No more taking from the many No more dragging us along The people have spoken The people stand strong God, bring the proud down low Where the guilty don't belong The people have spoken The people stand strong Australia, rise up now We’ve suffered long enough
