The Overtaking
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake up, wake up
Can’t you hear them clawing at your mind?
Don’t you know that they’re the ones Who pray on those who are easy to fight?
And they’re not gonna stop
So raise your voices with me
A voice alone is not enough
But all together we’re a force to be reckoned with
And you know it’s not over yet
I’ve been sitting too long while you’ve been doing it wrong
And now it’s time for me to rise
I guess it’s time to be the monster that you have been making of me
Wake up, wake up
It’s our time to take control
And it’s now or never
They won’t get the best of us
We will stand our ground and keep our heads held high
Brothers and sisters they will never take us alive
You are not wise to underestimate strength in numbers
Because I know there are a million ways for you to use our minds
But there is just one thing that you forgot
We are tired of playing your twisted games
Everything you say is always the same and we’re not gonna take it
Enough
When dictatorship is a fact,
revolution becomes our right I can’t wait til the day we say
What a pleasure to burn down the industry
Wake up, wake up
It’s our time to take control
And it’s now or never
They won’t get the best of us
We will stand our ground and keep our heads held high
Brothers and sisters they will never take us alive
