  • Some people live out selfish desire
    Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the star
    Caught in the flame of those deep in fire
    Seeking out those with a voice, one for tomorrow

    They say we've lost our minds
    We've just gained control

    Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free
    Fly past the edge of the sea
    No bended knee
    No mockery
    Somehow we still carry on

    (Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear)

    Silence your fear, we've got to move higher
    High like the stars in the sky, guiding us all
    Battle the will of those who conspire
    Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow

    Destroy their perfect crime, watch the power fold

    Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free
    Fly past the edge of the sea
    No bended knee
    No mockery
    Somehow we still carry on

    Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free
    Fly past the edge of the sea
    No bend in knee
    No mockery
    Somehow we still carry on

  • Jeremy from Roscoe, IlThis song is underrated. When I was 10 years old, I was listening to the local rock station when this song came on. It was a great song at the time, and still is. It is even better when you watch the animation. A great song from a great band.
