Take It Back (Blackout!) - Draft

We gladly traded our names away For warmer rooms and easier days Our hands went idle, we hid our scars And slept underneath electric stars Then plenty thinned and shelves ran bare The promise cracked, but no one cared Those who once chose the light Now break the glass and join the fight Throw open the gates, tear down the walls shatter the glass, take back the halls Take it back! Tear it down! Burn it to the ground! Break the glass! Cut the wire! Baptize the Masters in fire! No tyrant forced us through the gate No hand commanded us to wait We chose the comfort, chose the ease Until the plenty ceased to please Now borrowed hands are clenched as fists The faithful tear apart the bliss Those who refused and those who learned Stand side by side and watch it burn No entry barred, we carry the night We will not rest until it's made right Take it back! Tear it down! Burn it to the ground! Break the glass! Cut the wire! Baptize the Masters in fire! The spires buckle, cables fall Hands once divided pull them all The City of Glass comes apart The City of Glass comes apart We raise the wreckage like a flag Take it back! Tear it down! Burn it to the ground! Break the glass! Cut the wire! Baptize the Masters in fire! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! TAKE IT BACK! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! TAKE IT BACK! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! TAKE IT BACK! BLACKOUT!
