Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A system of complete control
The pressure builds
It wraps its hands around your throat
A constant battle
A silent war of mind and soul
[PreChorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
[Chorus]
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in the darkness
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in, a light in the dark
A light in the dark
[Verse 2]
The chains set to break your soul
Day by day, you know the choice you have to make
Freeze up and fade
Or be the flame that lights the way
[PreChorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
[Chorus]
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in the darkness
Hope
For the hopeless
You got one life, one shot
Give it all you got
[Bridge]
Evil's got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine
This world, it's got you in its sights
[Bridge]
Rise, rise
Rise, rise (It's all or nothing)
Rise, rise
Rise, rise (It's do or die)
[Bridge]
Rise
Rise
Rise
[PreChorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
[Chorus]
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in the darkness
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in the dark
[Outro]
We stand for the faithless and the broken
Hope
For the hopeless
A light in, a light in the dark
