LYRICS
Countless days under darkened skies
Stripped of pride while the tears fall from our eyes
Underrated, assume we'll take the bait
Without an ounce of solace for our pain

PRECHORUS:
You are the ones, pulling the strings
We are a sleeping giant awakening

CHORUS:
To the authorities and tyrants perched up
High above the clouds
We've had enough, we cast you out
We're cracking crowns on monuments 
That've kept us buried underground
This is a revolution now. 
Pull the switch

Hear the rage from our blistered palms
The have-nots calling out for a fair shot
Echoes sound for your demise
Wallows rise from the worn down you forgot

PRECHORUS:
You are the ones, pulling the strings
We are a sleeping giant awakening

CHORUS:
To the authorities and tyrants perched up
High above the clouds
We've had enough, we cast you out
We're cracking crowns on monuments 
That've kept us buried underground
This is a revolution now. 
Pull the switch

Onward from battered homes
Calloused hands and fractured bones
Bodies given for your bottom line
Taking back our stolen time

PRECHORUS:
You are the ones, pulling the strings
We are a sleeping giant awakening

CHORUS:
To the authorities and tyrants perched up
High above the clouds
We've had enough, we cast you out
We're cracking crowns on monuments 
That've kept us buried underground
This is a revolution now. 
Pull the switch
