I was the last choice, no voice, regular kid
Just livin' out each day and layin' low on the grid
But then I looked at myself, and saw that I wanted more
So I assembled my troops and I stood up to the world

We will rise

Now I'm the full grown man that you love to hate
And yeah you doubted me, but now I'm laughing in your face
You're hoping I fail, but you're just pressing your luck
'Cause the one best part of me is I don't give a... HAH HAH

I will defend that, we are the vanquished, and you will not make our decisions
I won't pretend that, I'm not a victim of a world that will not listen

They will fall

Nothing that I can't overcome
(to) conquer the battles one by one
Crushing the head of what's become
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs

(I will not fall, I will fight to survive and keep this alive
We will rise without fail, find the strength to survive and keep this alive)
