Screaming for mercy    Why can’t they hear me?    These nights are filled with heartache    These nights are filled with an empty glass       Just turn us up and step aside    We know you very well    We know what dwells down deep inside    Come see this from the past    ‘cause the cynics said it would not last    Now watch them disappear    The truth will begin right here       These streets will burn behind you    As tradition breaks tonight    Go forth and tell the world    We have arrived       Our spirits clad in black    This color runs down my back    and leads me to your home    The channel never has it    Shift to automatic    It’s how the cycle goes    Then see what they really know       These are the signs of our times    Take what you want and leave all the rest    Hearken back to reclaim your creation    and break this tradition       For years we have wandered in dismay    Now here we stand as one    Stronger than you’ve ever known       The loss of innocence became your saving grace       What can we do right now?    What more can we say?       Fuel the rage    Echo salvation       They’ll never run us out    We’re martyrs in the making    Look deep into their eyes    They’re ripe for the taking    Erase all the lines and get back in the fold    This is the day and age    Of monumental growth and change       These streets will burn behind you    As tradition breaks tonight    Go forth and tell the world    You have arrived
