lyrics

hydra awoke, spoke in tongues
spoke many voices choked into one

as one heart we beat out the sound of the street
as one we repeat the sound of the street

like waves out in the bay we rise and we fall
they will not stop, will not stop us at all

we are the free ones, we are the new ones
we don't belong, don't belong to no-one
we are the chosen, we are the lucky ones
we won't be slaves, won't be slaves to no-one

many hands pulled the rug from out under your feet
many hands clapped as you were thrown from your seat

and pulses were raised in anticipation
as voices repeated the song for the nation

the writing's on the wall as we rise and we fall
they will not stop, will not stop us at all


the voices fell silent as the crowds were dispersed
but I'm staying put, fearing the worst
don't let them pull the blindfold down
don't let them spin your head around
just let your heart beat with the sound of the street
and all of our hearts beat as one to this song:

we are the free ones, we are the new ones
we don't belong, don't belong to no-one
we are the chosen, we are the lucky ones
we won't be slaves, won't be slaves, won't be slaves
