Pawns & Kings

Tear down the walls And show your courage as you heed the call Embarking on the journey yet to come There is no time to waste The wretched and the heartless take Your future if you let their will be done Stand up and hold your ground Don't let the bastards grind you down It's time to show the devil what we are Surrender never more Though deep inside we're battle worn We'll never let them tear this land apart, no For all of the hope that it brings And though we're pawns, we could be kings If we believe Against all odds we will survive Release the hounds of doom Unsheathe the blade, we cannot lose We're fighting for the only thing we've known And when it's said and done Our victory is gained for love A worthy sacrifice of flesh and blood For all of the hope that it brings And though we're pawns, we could be kings If we believe Against all odds we will survive The last shall be first Give it time If in the end we're still alive Our victory Will prove in time that we were right all along We must stand up for all that we are We must fight till the dawn Till the last of their kind are gone Stand your ground Hold your head high Your honor for your life Stand your ground Don't compromise Your courage, their demise For the hope that it brings And though we're pawns, we could be kings The meek shall sing this song tonight For all of the hope that it brings And though we're pawns, we could be kings If we believe Against all odds we will survive The last shall be first Give it time If in the end we're still alive Our victory will justify That we are right where we belong Pawns and kings Let sovereign wings Give strength where there is none Pawns and kings The meek shall sing Until God's will is done --- Pawns & Kings - Alter Bridge
