Wake up, wake up, we are reloaded
Chambers are ready, barrels full
We are not sad, we are not hopeless
Fingers on trigger, ready to pull
And we will blow you away
Blow you away
We are ready to fight
Ready to stand
We will show you our strength
We are ready to go
It’s not impossible
We will keep you at arms’ length
Come on, come on, this is our siren
On count of three, all blades unsheathe (1,2,3!)
There’s no remorse, there’s no denying
Open your lungs up, time to breathe
And we will blow you away
Blow you away
We are ready to fight (say what you want)
Ready to stand (say what you will)
We will show you our strength (I’m not afraid of you)
We are ready to go (say what you want)
It’s not impossible (say what you will)
We will keep you at arms’ length (at arms’ length)
We will not lose to this battle to you now
We will not stop until you’re six feet underground
And we will blow you away
Blow you away
We are ready to fight (say what you want)
Ready to stand (say what you will)
We will show you our strength (I’m not afraid of you)
We are ready to go (say what you want)
It’s not impossible (say what you will)
We will keep you at arms’ length (at arms’ length)
In this defense!
