[Verse 1 – Strong Inheritance] They built a world from blood and stone And handed down a voice, a tone But we grew soft, too sleek to strain We traded fire for sugar rain (sugar rain...) [Verse 2 – Inheritance Denied] We saw the cost in black and white Still turned away, still dimmed the light Our children walk where we stepped back We gift them cracks instead of tracks (ooooohhhhhh...) [Pre - How Long?] How long can I keep standing still? Before the silence breaks my will (breaks my will...) [Chorus – Our Legacy] We watch the truth get brushed aside Made peace with comfort, let it slide Our old convictions curl and die. But silence isn't how we're free And it shames the ones who died for me [Verse 3 – The Ones Who Stood] They couldn’t wait for skies to clear Stood through fire, despite the fear Their voices shook, but still they spoke The chain holds fast, if we don’t choke [Pre - How Long?] How long can I keep standing still? Before the silence breaks my will. [Bridge - Step Up] Each age must choose what it will bear This is the weight I have to wear [Verse 4 – I Won’t Disappear] I won't go quiet just to blend I can't pretend, I won't defend I'll hold the line, though no one cheers And answer now, while I am here [Pre - How Long?] How long can I keep standing still? Before the silence breaks my will. [Chorus – Our Legacy] We watch the truth get brushed aside Made peace with comfort, let it slide Our old convictions curl and die. But silence isn't how we're free And it shames the ones who died for me
