Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us
What are we waiting for?
[Verse 2]
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
[Verse 3]
This shattered dream, you can not justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied
[Verse 4]
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere we can run to anymore
[Verse 5]
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
[Verse 6]
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
[Verse 7]
Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere, nowhere we can run to anymore
[Verse 8]
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
[Verse 9]
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
[Verse 10]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(We can't afford to be innocent)
(Stand up and face the enemy)
(It's a do or die situation)
(We will be invincible)
[Verse 11]
(We can't afford to be innocent)
(Stand up and face the enemy)
(It's a do or die situation)
(We will be invincible)
