The Chains Are Off Lyrics


Oppression! The words of the river

Injustice! Pumping through its veins

Hierarchy! The order of history

Bound in solid chains

Anger! Among servants of power

Change! In a revolutionary way

Frightened leaders dodge and cower

Can the people break away?

Brothers, sisters let's step forward!

Take the Freedom Square!

Only through our efforts may

Innocent blood be spared

The path of change before your feet

The pressure still on your backs

A chance to take a step away

And start your own attack

Progress in the making

Piece by piece we conquer

Freedom is our only way

No time to negotiate

Brothers, sisters let's step forward!

Take the Freedom Square!

Only through our efforts may

Innocent blood be spared

Oppressed by hierarchies and dynasties and lunacy

Standing strong for liberty and equality and fraternity

The people's will won't fall for you; they'll tear you through and shatter you

The fight'll go on until it's won and the chains are off

Different wills! Hear our call

We must stand united

The time is short to defend our cause

To defeat the evil source

In the final fight

Let the world see our deed

I'll set myself alight

To set my country free

Brothers, sisters let's step forward!

Take the Freedom Square!

Only through our efforts may

Innocent blood be spared

Oppressed by hierarchies and dynasties and lunacy

Standing strong for liberty and equality and fraternity

The people's will won't fall for you, they'll tear you through and shatter you

The fight'll go on until it's won and the chains are off

Their sweat will fall into the sand for their noble cause to free the land

Their blood will color the river red, inseparable into the dead

The ancient gods will watch impressed, as servants bravely rise from rest

They'll fight, they'll cry, they'll stand, they'll die until the chains are off

Odds against them

Deemed to lose

Rising in a heroic way

Silencing their tormentors

United in their cause

United, together…

United, together!

Wrath of the Nile!

Oppression! The words of the river

Injustice! Pumping through its veins

Hierarchy! The order of history

Gone with broken chains!

Oppressed by hierarchies and dynasties and lunacy

Standing strong for liberty and equality and fraternity

The people's will won't fall for you; they'll tear you through and shatter you

The fight'll go on until it's won and the chains are off

Their sweat will fall into the sand for their noble cause to free the land

Their blood will color the river red, inseparable into the dead

The ancient gods will watch impressed, as servants bravely rise from rest

They'll fight, they'll cry, they'll stand, they'll die until the chains are off
