The lights

The lights

The lights are too bright

And the sky is too dark

And the air between seems to spark

As the fire rages high in the night

Burn down the foundations

And smash all the glass

Destroy the creations

Of each separate class

Build up to the grade

Of those who have it made

And watch it torn down

By the castle and crown

Rise up

For you have fallen

Watch out

For they are calling

Your name

You stand on the ice

As they roll the dice

And decide whether to break what lies

Just beneath your feet

They stand before the kingdom

And call out the guards

To take out the rebels

Become a house of cards

Your name is called out

But you will not step forward

And the crowd swallows your fear

As the guards continue to shout

My break-away-girl

Let your screams be heard

Let your thoughts create

A new world

Scream louder and louder

Until the crowd begins to surge

As they join in your rebellion

Against the king's word

Break free from their walls

And fight until you fly

Above the heads of the crown

Above the heads of those

Who others place so high

Fly away girl

And forget what has happened

Forget what they have done to you

And find a better life to live

For the lights

The lights

The lights are too bright

And the sky is too dark

And the air between seems to spark

As the fire rages on

In the night...
