Dream Theater - Outcry Lyrics

Somewhere overhead distant thunder roars
The revolution has begun the war to end all wars
As I welcome death, I hear the battle cry
Bullets fall like fire raining from the sky

The rebel in us all
Someday gets tired of being pushed around
But freedom has a price
The cost is buried in the ground

We suffered far too long
We gather now growing stronger
We will not be ignored anymore, any longer
Our anthem will guide us

Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling tonight

Far too many years of chaos and unrest
Far too many voices brutally suppressed
We fight for what is just, for all that we believe
We fight till death or glory, fight to be set free

The streets are bathed in blood
Time to step down and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon my grave

You can look the other way or you can face the light
Although it seems so far away, freedom's worth the fight

Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling
Rise up, be counted, stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry, resistance is calling tonight

The world watches on while we risk our lives
Locked in a kingdom of fear as our children die
