You see the future, remember the past
It's not the first time, won't be the last
The dividing line is so obscure and it's fading fast
History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways
From the beginning of time until the end of days
Sometimes the masses need to take control
Shift the balance back the other way
There's a revolution, revolution rising
There's a revolution, revolution rising
Bow down in reverence, bow down in fear
They don't care as long as you adhere
Feigning compassion with teary eyes
The look so sincere
Lining all their pockets with
Proceeds from favors sold
Placating the people so
They're easily controlled
No one ever wants
To see bloodshed
But the peaceful path
Has long since
Gone ice cold
There's a revolution, revolution rising
There's a revolution, revolution rising
History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways
From the beginning of time until the end of days
Sometimes the masses need to take control
Shift the balance back the other way
There's a revolution, revolution rising
There's a revolution, revolution rising
