This Time

Friends listen closely, I won't say this twice
Hope's running out and we haven't much time
Please understand that the life we once planned out is over
Now is the time you must fight for your lives
The battle is on, you're already in sight
Don't turn back now, there's nowhere to hide

Nowhere to build a new world

Nowhere to start anew

Here, now, is all that we've got
Ready or not there's a war to be fought
Only one way through

This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlightened, a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder

Out of the ashes, a new flame ignites

Rise up from shadows and into the light

We'll stand undivided, our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
This time

This warning is dire, my words you must hear
A kingdom in shambles, a downfall is near

Yet I still believe that the peace we'll achieve's growing closer
The first blood must spill like a wine at a feast

The good only comes once the carnage has ceased
Fight or die
There'll be no release

No way to avoid the warfare
No way to escape this strife

Here, now, listen to me
This time retreat spells our final defeat
We must win our lives

This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlightened, a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder

Out of the ashes, a new flame ignites

Rise up from shadows and into the light

We'll stand undivided
Our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
It's time

The world sees what we're made of

We change the spite to love (its time)

To save our fate
And walk beside the human race

The past is gone, but soon behind us

Victory through trust and kindness

Here, now
We will restore

The path we've been shown to while fighting our own
We will win this war

This time
The ways of the past we'll get over
We'll climb
Enlightened, a new state of mind
And now
I'll stand with you shoulder to shoulder

Out of the ashes, a new flame ignites

Rise up from shadows and into the light

We'll stand undivided
Our futures aligned
A new brotherhood
This time
