Lyrics

We always had to take it
But then I thought you'd break it
The power's our's today.
It is like this I pray.
The revolution's stirring 
for you are not concurring
that we deserve to be
amongst our liberty

The Coup D'etat, it comes too fast
And your regime will never last
You cannot stop rise up today
maybe we like it better this way.

A call to arms is ringing out.
It's summoning all the devout.
Oh, can't you know? It's plain to see.
It's a crisis of authority.

And now a celebration 
to bask in our creation.
A nation now is born
above a raging storm.
We have so much to fight for
in this our little light war.
We cleanse you of your sin.
You cannot ever win.

And now it's time for you to end
Because we've had our own revenge for
We are the ones the world will see.
We're here to claim a little victory.

So back away and make some room
it's time you walk'd into your doom.
So do not fight, you won't succeed
in the crisis of authority. Now solo...

I think that I should maybe say
that we resist we won't obey.
You beter run you better leave.
This land is for all those who believe.

So listen up while you still can.
You better go become a man.
You're powerless. You don't own me
thanks to the crisis of authority.
So try your best and best of luck.
Your bullying did really suck.
So hit the road and sail the seas.
You lost the crisis of authority. Now finish...
