Legion movie - Achilles - The Breakdown lyrics

rate me

We are too old to cry, too young to die.<br>

We're bound to the promise of better lives.<br>

We're bought and sold, content to know,<br>

That we'll never have to fight if we do what we're told.<br>

We are warrior sons but we run from a cause,<br>

That brings freedom and purpose and hope to us all.<br>

We would rather be a product of the world and it's whims,<br>

Than have the world be a product of the force of our wills.<br>

<br>

RISE. And at the sound of our standing the earth will groan.<br>

RISE. And we will break their backs.<br>

<br>

And we will stretch for days and miles and years,<br>

Pulled across the fabric of our hopes and fears.<br>

We'll pay the price, the sacrifice.<br>

Rebels and angels, a storm on white light.<br>

<br>

Earth shakers, life takers,<br>

Passion and purpose makes men of us all.<br>

The slow rotting, the cancerous fear,<br>

The corruption, we put a stop to it here.<br>

<br>

Brothers in arms to me.<br>

RISE. And at the sound of our standing the earth will groan.<br>

RISE. And we will break their backs with the weight of our will.<br>

<br>

Give us insurrection.<br>

Give us something to say.<br>

Give us thirst for vengeance.<br>

And we will break their backs with the weight of our will.<br>

<br>
