My fingers tingle A sign that doom is due An avalanche of anguish Engulfing me and you Is this the end or A brand new misery The species endangered Who'll die for liberty? Stay strong Rage on and on and on Stay strong Rage on and on In a perfect world Love leads and peace pursues In a perfect world No hopes are abused Lawless detention Wires strapped to your head Memories forbidden As freedom's for the dead My fingers obscure Your grotesque demise My words of insurgence Take on a dreadful guise Stay strong Rage on and on and on Stay strong Rage on and on In a perfect world Love leads and peace pursues In a perfect world Each tyrant colludes They let me hold you But you're not there They've dimmed the light inside your mind That hallowed soul is elsewhere I taste the cold truth Tears in your hair Unrecognised, my spirit dies I'll make them pay my dear, I swear This is a lament For the condemned The partisans, the also-rans And all our fallen fiends and friends Oh, I know The road is hard on which we roam In a perfect world Free from such scum In a perfect world We'd still be one Stay strong Rage on and on and on Stay strong Rage on and on Stay strong Rage on and on and on Stay strong Rage on and on and on and on
