Iron Sky

Lyrics

We are proud individuals
 Living for the city
 But the flames
 Couldn't go much higher
 ♪
 We find God and religions
 To bait us with salvation
 But no one, no nobody
 Can give you the power
 To rise
 Over love
 Over hate
 Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
 Over fear and into freedom
 ♪
 All that life
 Let dripping down the walls
 Of a dream that cannot breathe
 In this harsh reality
 Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
 Serves now to define our cold society
 From which we'll rise
 Over love
 Over hate
 Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
 Over fear and into freedom
 ♪
 You've just got to hold on
 You've just got to hold on
 ♪
 "To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair.
 The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed -
 The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
 The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power
 They took from the people will return to the people.
 And so long as men die, liberty will never perish...
 Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
 Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
 You are not machines! You are not cattle!
 You are men!
 You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
 To make this life a wonderful adventure
 Let us use that power - let us all unite."
 And we'll rise
 Over love
 Over hate
 Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
 Over fear and into freedom
 Into freedom
 From which we'll rise
 Over love
 Over hate
 Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
 Over fear and into freedom
 Freedom from which we'll rise
 Over love and over hate
 Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
 And over fear, into freedom
 Freedom, freedom
 ♪
 Rain on me
 ♪
 Rain on me
