For my fallen stars
Bannermen ready for your call to arms
And for my broken hearts
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost
For my fallen stars
Bannermen ready for your call to arms
And for my broken hearts
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost
This is the resistance!
It's a call to arms
The anthem for all those who don't belong
We're here to take our stand
This is the resistance!
It's been far too long
That we've put all our faith in to the corrupt
It's time to start the end!
Welcome new recruits to your evaluation and initiation course
This system is designed to test your survival and critical thinking
Skills in Aeon City
Please adjust the volume and do not move
Welcome
To the Resistance
I've been a victim
I've been a coward hiding underneath my pain
I've been immobilized and watched the system
Destroy everything I loved
We cannot take this
We must Resist this
Who will you follow when the world fades to the grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?
I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me
With iron claws and casted hearts
I feel my fear just fall apart
I'm melted down to clear my past
Then forged from fire so that I may ask
Who will you follow when the world fades to the grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?
I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me
All new recruits
We have been surrounded by scarecrows
This is not a drill
I repeat this is not a drill
Runaway status is active to all new recruits starting immediately
System failure
Look what they've done to us
Look what they've done to us
Look what they've done to us
I've grown so sick of hiding
It's time we reclaim what's ours
They try to say what we'll become
And rearrange the stars
I know I'm sick and f*cking tired
Of this mess they've made
So let their arrows block the sun
We will fight under the shade
Welcome to the Resistance
I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me
Hey there shadow, you didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go
I know young love is just a dream, we were only seventeen
But you're the only love I've known
So please just let me go if you're done
Cause it's hope that kills this heart
So please set me free, kill the spark
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home, please won't you let me go?
When I have no where left I can run away, will you lie to me
Tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me home
So how did I get so far from my yesterdays
Another broken heart now just a memory
I should've left you in the dark, I should've left this awful town
And never found out how to love
So I don't wanna know about the things that you regret
Now that we're dead and over and done
Get away from me and leave my heart under the rug
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home, please won't you let me go?
When I have no where left I can run away, will you lie to me
Tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me home
Send me home!
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home, so won't you let me go?
When I have no where left I can run away, will you lie to me
Tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me...
We hold on to the lies to feel free
So shackled by smiles, so empty
We're scared of the war, so we've forgotten who we are
We've traded in hope for safety, we're raised in the smoke
Insisting that we're all too tired to light the fire
And shake the earth
But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle
And break free from these chains
We must be more than just machines
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts!
Yeah!
Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future
And swallow your pride?
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who dares to dream!
I scream at the top of my lungs, I hope that I'm proven wrong!
But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle
And break free from these chains
We must be more than just machines, so let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts!
Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future
And swallow your pride?
Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future
And swallow your pride?
If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs
Inside the wheels of change
We must be more than just machines
We can't afford to hide
We must embrace the pain
If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs
Inside the wheels of change
We must be more than just machines
We can't afford to hide
We must embrace the pain
When the days had grown shortest, and the leaves all died
When life became scarce and all was covered in ice
There lived a pack of wolves against every odd
That grew hungry and tired and needed to hunt
They'd sneak in to the towns in the dead of the night
And seek fire for comfort and warmth in the light
And though they weren't evil, and knew it was wrong
They couldn't escape, the lust for the blood
I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster
With a bang
I feel my heart start to separate
The enemy within
Can no longer be contained
I'm running from myself
There's something inside of me
And it's ripping a hole through my chest
I spit the fire from my lungs
The creature I buried
Is now the beast that I've become
We pretend that we can be somebody else
But heaven's judgments nothing when
You're already in hell
So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)
They call me to the lights
I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
The angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster
I feel so god damn tired
And I can't escape the things I've lost
The cycle repeats and repeats
And I can't turn the f*cking power off
I hate the things that I'm not
And I'm sick of how this has to end
I tried to reason with you
But now all of you are f*cking dead
I am the living dead
I am the living dead
I walk through hell alone
And none of you can save me now
So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)
They call me to the lights
Their voices just like thunder
They call me to the lights
But I am already gone, what have I done?
I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster
Sh...
I hear the static drawing nearer, there's no way out
I breathe the eyes and let the fire die
I keep on feeling in the chemicals I need to breathe, but how could something so important not belong to me
I can't pretend like I'm the one who's going to change this but all I know is that our time is running out
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss but all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path
And out of the dust to see the light creep in and no it won't be long
But let's confide, cause at least in the dark no one else can see who you really are
So bring me, raise up your guns and blame me for all of your wrongs
Seems hate is all I have left, yeah it's all I have left, it's the only thing that's left of me
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss but all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path
So when you feel like you're falling under, holding onto the things you thought you loved
Will you let all of the things you run from, chew you up and spit you out. (There's so much now!)
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss but all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path. (Find a brighter path!)
Don't be scared, we'll see the lights go out...
When color starts to fade everything you see is tainted grey
As hope drains from your veins
Fear will slowly take its place
Feel the charge rush down your spine
Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind
Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts
The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark
All it takes is a spark
The masquerade
Is lit ablaze
Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul
There's a maniac within, taking hold of me again
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
I'm a f*cking maniac!
Scarlet drapes my eyes the phantom calls from deep inside
Revealing my disguise, the freak beneath has come alive
Suffering is all I'm wanting
You've been chosen for my haunting
The masquerade
Is lit ablaze
Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul
There's a maniac within, taking hold of me again
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
I'm a maniac, a maniac, a maniac!
I am the bane of your existence
Feeble are all your attempts at resistance
Stealing your sanity, watching you rot
Just lying in wait, ready or not
Here I come!
You stare in the mirror and the evil you see
Is the menace within you that you have set free
Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek
But there's no escaping maniacal me
Am I too desperate, too caught up in all the noise?
Do I mean nothing, another angry voice?
Did I even have a choice? Did I only make things worse?
Am I just another angry voice?
Then I hear the heart sing...
(Hey-Hey-aohaoh-aohaoh-aohaohhhh) then I hear the heart sing...
(Hey-Hey-aohaoh-aohaoh-aohaohhhh)
Will you remember me after the lights go out?
Will you remember me after the sun goes down?
Will you remember me after the lights go out?
Will you remember me after the sun goes down and down and down?!
And when I'm worried then I'll look up to the satellites and hear them call your name
Then I know I can't be the only star in the world that's trying to burn
So look up to the satellites and hear them call your name
They're singing...
(Hey-Hey-aohaoh-aohaoh-aohaohhhh)
I know that I'm never alone...
On trial for our fates
We are The Runaways
Outta place with mistakes we never made
Because, all we are
To anyone is just a Runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are
To anyone is just a Runaway
Well if the waters so deep
Then why are all of you still standing?
And if the sinner's asleep
Then how can I rattle his cage?
I'm so sick of these dark days chasing me further under ground
But I'll find my way to light
And you'll find your own demise
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall!
Well how am I supposed to feel like everything will be okay
When you try to suffocate
What little is left of me?
So f*ck off you've dug your grave and I will be just fine
Cuz I'll find my way to light
It's always been here inside!
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall!
So try to live with the things that you've done
And try to take all the things that I've loved
You won't break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall!
Run, run, running
I keep running
I keep on running, away
Run, run, running
I keep running
I keep on running, away
Run, run, running
I keep running
I keep on running, away
On trial for our fates
We are The Runaways
Outta place with mistakes we never made
Because, all we are
To anyone is just a Runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are
Is just a Runaway!
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall!
So try to live with the things that you've done
And try to take all the things that I've loved
You won't break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall!
Run, run, running

I keep on running, away!
Run, run, running
I keep running
I keep on running, away!
Run, run, running
I keep running
I keep on running, away!
I keep on running away!
I keep on running away!
I keep on running!
(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)
Rise!
You took a part of me
I've wasted all this time just giving up
The revolution's starting
Why don't you try and stop it
We've lost control of our minds
You think we're giving in?
It's time to prove yourself
So let the battle begin
Oh!
We're not the same kids you used to know
So you wanna play this dangerous game?
Well, we're ready to go
(Yeah we're ready to f*cking go!)
So at the end of the world
Let's let em hear us say;
We are, we are, we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are, we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up, stand up, stand up,- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and crown
(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)
You think you're done with me?
Like you can light the match and not get burned?
We are the kids you love to hate
The ones that never learned
To be part of the system
We were born to tear shit inside out
So sharpen your teeth
And ready your guns
The Revolution starts now
We've already died if we give in to everything they ask
So become more tonight
We are your bloodline
We've already died if we give in to everything they ask
So become more tonight
We are your bloodline
Unleash Hell!
This is your bloodline, bloodline
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline
This is your bloodline, bloodline
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline
So let them hear us say;
We are we are we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and crown
We are we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and-
(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)
Become the cog and-
(Oohaah ehaheahah)
Trademark the revolution
Swallow your sin and bury your soul
This is your retribution
The end of all that you know
We come as we are
We are what you're not
We come as we are
We are what you're not
So let the fire rise!
Run, you can't escape me
I am the air that fills your lungs
Fall, you are the disease
But I'm immune to all you've done
Take back what's ours, take back
We're taking back this world
So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll chose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time
And let the fire rise
Rise, rise, rise
Wipe the ashes from your eyes and rise, rise, rise
Every end is a start's disguise
We're holding on to tomorrow
The day our flag will ascend
We are the voice of the hollow
We are the start of your end
We are the start of your end!
So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll chose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time
And let the fire rise!
Rise, rise, rise
Cause we chose how we die tonight
I start to levitate
I feel the air beneath my wings
I hear my pulse
I taste the air I breathe
I touch the ground
I see the end and I feel whole again
I hear the echoes of a world I'd left behind
I taste the victory I thought I'd never find
I touch the ground but it's slipping away
From me and now I can't see it
I can't see anything, somebody out there, please help me, ah!
Oh Johnny!
Wake the f*ck up
It's your big day
Wouldn't want to keep all those angry souls waiting, now would you?
This is the story of Johnny's group of misfits taking on the Devil himself
Welcome to Hell
I can't believe it was a dream
I walked the surface
Breathed the air then found myself back underneath
It must've been a sign
It's time to take back what was mine
I am alive
So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground
First I'll take the things he loves
Make him feel defeated, make him feel defeated
Then I'll take his f*cking heart
Make him watch you eat it, make them watch you eat it
I can't remain here, I'm taking control
So string 'em out, and bare his bones
I'm taking back my soul
You think you can run?
You think you can hide?
No! I'm done hiding!
I challenge you to fight me to the death
So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground
So it seems it's my time
Fate has brought me to now
With armies aligned
We brace for the sound
Of ten thousand souls fighting for air
The chance to live again
So ready your guns, prepare for the end
Cause the last thing that you'll hear is
"Off with his head!"
With the force of ten thousand guns
I destroy everything you built
Corner you with nowhere to run
Then I tear your black heart straight out of your chest
I took his crown of fire
And I crushed it with my hands
I came, I saw, and I conquered
So did you miss me?
Well here's my farewell
I'm crazier than I ever f*cking was
I'm king of the dead and the damned
I thought that this day'd never come
But why should you sinners be saved?
You wouldn't be free without me
I'm your leader, your savior, your king
And I don't think that I'm ready to leave
So gather ye demons, it seems it's your day
I sin but I've paid more than ten thousand graves
And though we're the damned we're so far from alone
So let's bury the hatchet inside of their skulls
