Lyrics

Choose or Be Chosen

[Verse 1]

The time has come to deny your ways

To rid ourselves of the parasites

Shedding dead weight, reclaiming what's ours

Taking each moment with force again

No crosses to bear, no time to be wasted

A fearless approach to oppression

A constant attack to never retreat from

With no other choice but resistence

[Chorus]

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

You must choose or be chosen for

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

Choose or be chosen

[Verse 2]

Its all that we ask, for what we demand

The decisions we make we will live by

Proving your weakness

Denouncing your claims

Your feeble attempts to demean us

What more can you do, You're against the wall

Your lies will be heard for the last time

Say what you will it's only in vain

This is that justice I fought to attain

[Chorus]

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

You must choose or be chosen for

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

Choose or be chosen

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

You must choose or be chosen for

What will it take?

What will it take?

What will it take?

Choose or be chosen

[Bridge]

(What will it take)

Choose (choose)

What will it take

Choose (choose)

Choose or be chosen
