Guardian Lyrics

Man down
Into the darkness they hunt you
Tracking blood upon the streets
Security is breached
Political elite, who's the savior when the martyr knows your name?

(Guardian, guardian, guardian)

Pixels of light
Infrared from the sights
That shed upon you
Facing the enemy, fascist supremacy
Fight to live another day

It's time to rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

Rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

Insurrection
This time we're playing for keeps
Arming police like the military, it's obscene
And they're stalking the streets

Rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

Rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

Torn inside
We've fallen to another world
Are we so cold
And out of love?

Keep on trying, hold the child
Face is crying, changing times

It's time to rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

Rise up, united we stand, divided we fall
Revolution calling

(Rise up, we stand, we fall)
(Revolution calling)

(Rise up, we stand, we fall)
(Revolution calling)
