[Verse 1]
Give me strength to retain
What my fathers brought forth
Hold no scars on their memory
No regret for the truth they had founded
Nevermore this tragedy

[Pre-Chorus]
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down

[Verse 2]
Hands once tied
Now empower my enemy
A common thread
That oppression believes
The grand design (The grand design)
Ends in tyranny
The cost of safety's paid
When no one is free

[Pre-Chorus]
Forsaken few (Forsaken few)
They're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
Believe this truth (Believe this truth):
We're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down
[Chorus]
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away

[Bridge]
Our greatness is our proof
They know these words are true

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Believe this truth (Believe this truth):
We're wrong to trust them
(Wrong to trust them)

[Chorus]
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
