We are moving our feet with our hoods on.
Sacred is the ground on which we dance upon
(to the beat of our own drum).
This covenant was made with foundations being broken
and bloodstained hearts becoming whole…
When the weight of the world comes crashing down on your shoulders
and your bones begin to break from all of the pressure
(the pressure is rising, rising),
just remember the blood that was spilled for you and I.
The blood that shook the foundations of the Earth.
Believe me and the promise that you won’t be left behind.
Remember me and what I said, that we will stand and fight to the end.
Remember me and what I said, that we will stand and fight to the end.
For what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.
For what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.
As iron sharpens iron, we are here to strengthen you.
We built you up (brick) brick by brick
and we never intended just to let you fall down.
Bloodshot eyes, and a weary heart; you cannot do this on your own…
But I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground for you when you have nothing left.
I will stand my ground for you even in the face of death…
