[Verse 1] They built the cage in daylight Bolted it to our names Stamped our hands with numbers Taught us all to take the blame Every door got guarded Every breath got priced But I can hear the crack in the concrete Hear it call us back tonight [Pre-Chorus] We are the sparks in the wire We are the heat in the chain You can stack up your towers We will burn through the frame [Chorus] Rise up Take it back Rise up Break the trap We are one We don't kneel We take back What they steal (We rise) (We rise) [Verse 2] They fed us fear for breakfast Shoved it down our throat Told us keep our heads down While they sold the rope But the smoke is turning black now And the floor begins to shake Every scar they left in silence Turns to thunder when we wake [Pre-Chorus] We are the sparks in the wire We are the heat in the chain You can stack up your towers We will burn through the frame [Chorus] Rise up Take it back Rise up Break the trap We are one We don't kneel We take back What they steal (We rise) (We rise) [Bridge] Ashes on our shoulders Fire in our lungs Hands up to the ruined sky Hear the war drums run No more silent orders No more rope and wire We are not your property We are rising through the fire [Breakdown] Back off We won't fold Back off We won't break Unity in the wreckage Power in the wake [Final Chorus] Rise up Take it back Rise up Break the trap We are one We don't kneel We take back What they steal (We rise) (We rise) Rise up Take it back Rise up Break the trap We are one We don't kneel We take back What they steal (We rise) (We rise)
