Empowerment

This is a clarion call!
This is my call!

Betrayed and forsaken
A generation in rebellion
They all abide the storm
Left with no option but revolt
Up in arms and never resting
Now tearing down your web of lies

This is a clarion call
You'll be misled forevermore
All sense of purpose left your life
The time has come to choose your side
You stand or fall before their eyes
Conquer your fears, come face to face with the enemy
Pick up the reins at last

No will to meaning
And not the merest urge for freedom
A prisoner of circumstance
Fall into contempt
Just temporize until they break your idle hands

This is a clarion call
You'll be misled forevermore
And black despair will rule your life
The time has come to choose your side
You stand or fall before their eyes
Conquer your fears, come face to face with the enemy

And in misery their world descends
Don't be one of them
This upright strife brings all your failures home to you
Just promise me, you won't be one of them

So firm and unshaken
A generation in rebellion
They all abide the storm

This is your clarion call
You'll be outcast forevermore
And black despair will rule your life
The time has come to choose your side
You stand or fall before their eyes
Conquer your fears, come face to face with the enemy

And in misery their world descends
You won't be one of them
Still taunting, still haunting
The ones that don't accept defeat!
