Lyrics[]
How does it feel out on the ice? You speak to the crowd but nobody hears It's not a dream and you are no Christ And you're not alone come in from the fear Gonna take it back Take back the life that you wanna lead Been under quiet attack But now it's time for you and me Gonna take it back You've got to fight for what you believe We're gonna make this stand The finest hour that we see When did our choice become erased? Where is the violence in this crowd? Now that our voice has been replaced With a silence that screams out loud Gonna take it back Take back the life that you wanna lead Been under quiet attack But now it's time for you and me Gonna take it back You've got to fight for what you believe We're gonna make this stand The finest hour that we see Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Gonna take it back Take back the life that you wanna lead Been under quiet attack But now it's time for you and me Gonna take it back You've got to fight for what you believe We're gonna make this stand The finest hour that we see Yeah... The finest hour that we see We're gonna make this stand The Finest Hour that we see Yeah -eah - eah -eah -eah
