Tragedy And Triumph Lyrics - Iced Earth

Here we stand 

I know it's always been our home 

We're awakened from our prison 

A new day, it's finally here 

We walk the streets without fear 

Our humanity has risen 

Digging out those microchips 

That kept us dormant to resist 

Singing songs of our triumph 

To maintain our current state 

We must try to innovate 

Our minds and our future 

We lived through their lies 

Now we'll always keep a conscious mind 

And we hold our heads up high 

We will never let our spirit die 

The brave new world, 

You know it's always been a lie 

Pushed with their manipulation 

Cast away the unseen chains 

They shackle you a slave 

Take control of your existence 

Flushing out their poison ways 

Live to fight another day 

The time is now to start living 

We've taken back our dignity 

We are alive and we are free 

A revolution of our spirit 

We lived through their lies 

Now we'll always keep a conscious mind 

And we hold our heads up high 

We will never let our spirit die 

Time is on our side 

We have prevailed 

Humanity's ultimate struggle 

Hearts and minds 

Are joined in victory 

We are triumphant and eternal 

Time is on our side 

We have prevailed 

Humanity's ultimate struggle 

Hearts and minds 

Are joined in victory 

We are triumphant and eternal 

Here we stand 

I know it's always been our home 

We can build a brand new future 

A new day, it's finally here 

We live our lives without fear 

Our humanity has risen 

The task at hand to educate 

So we don't make the same mistake 

Never take the road to serfdom 

We are aware, we are awake 

Dystopia we did escape 

Never to repeat the nightmare 

We lived through their lies 

Now we'll always keep a conscious mind 

And we hold our heads up high 

We will never let our spirit die 

Time is on our side 

We have prevailed 

Humanity's ultimate struggle 

Hearts and minds 

Are joined in victory 

We are triumphant and eternal 

Time is on our side 

We have prevailed 

Humanity's ultimate struggle 

Hearts and minds 

Are joined in victory 

We are triumphant and eternal 

Time is on our side 

We have prevailed 

Humanity's ultimate struggle 

Hearts and minds 

Are joined in victory 

We are triumphant and eternal
