Lyrics
I didn't know there was a tower
Where they look out to the land
To see the people quickly passing by
This is for their own desire
As they spit down to the earth
To feel the power
Boiling in their veins

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires, we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold

Many people are dividing
And a world apart with just one heart
Is bound to keel and fade away
None of us will be deciding
And the fate of man is in the hands
Of he who stands and heeds the call

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires, we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold

Oh oh, whoa
Oh oh, whoa

We will stand alone, we will stand up in the cold
(Oh-oh) we will stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (stand up in the cold)
We will stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (we won't stand)

Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold
