Riot!

Call my brothers, call my sons
Do not fear what we've become
Pick your pride up off the floor
Have no fear for what's in store
Meet me here, on the hill
We will riot tonight
Don't hold back, let it build
We want violence tonight
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
Have you ever seen blind men lead blind men?
Tread carefully, be careful to see that
We are not what we appear: To be free
Take ease, you can not free from the beast
Stay low, move slow like animals
When the night comes, don't run, we are one with the cannibals
I was taught to be scared of the dark
But now I thrive in the shadows of my heart
Meet me here, on the hill
We will riot tonight
Don't hold back, let it build
We want violence tonight
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
I can't get much satisfaction living in this cave
It's tough to breathe, I'm in the belly of the beast
Can't sleep with all my rage
With me and all my generations living in this cage
Pick up your guns and tell your sons, tonight we break the cage
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
Tonight my demons come out to play
All my anger goes away
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it
