Iron Sky
We are proud individualsLiving for the cityBut the flamesCouldn’t go much higher
We find God and religionsTo bait us with salvationBut no one, no nobodyCan give you the power
To riseOver loveOver hateThrough this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mindOver fear and into freedom
Oh, that’s lifeThat’s dripping down the wallsOf a dream that cannot breatheIn this harsh realityMass confusion spoon fed to the blindServes now to define our cold society
From which we’ll riseOver loveOver hateThrough this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mindOver fear and into freedom
You’ve just got to hold onYou’ve just got to hold on
[Charlie Chaplin’s speech from The Great Dictator]“To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ..... Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! ….. You are men! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. ….. let us use that power - let us all unite.”
And we’ll riseOver loveOver hateThrough this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mindOver fear and into freedomInto freedom
From which we’ll riseOver loveOver hateThrough this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mindOver fear and into freedomFreedom, freedom
Oh, rain on meRain on meRain on me
