(Chorus) Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, don't tread on me Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me You went too far this time, for this heinous crime You will know defeat, begging on your knees One by one you'll fall, your back against the wall Nowhere to turn, your sure to burn (Chorus) Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, don't tread on me The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand Justice shall be done, nowhere to run True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies (Chorus) Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me Born of destruction, bred in agony Is this my salvation? From these ashes of your devastation If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say With a hammer we will take, Lady Justice is asleep The Judgement has been made, in blood it shall be paid Death knows what to do, the horseman comes for you. (Chorus) Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, don't tread on me Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me
Another day just like any other Out of the blue it turned to horror How could they Why would they The innocent suffered hell's inferno A senseless act that goes unforgotten How could they They will pay When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries Out of the ashes came attempted vengeance But we are focused, we seek redemption We are free We'll stay free All they've done is make us stronger The sleeping giant is asleep no longer If need be We'll die free When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries When the eagle cries The fall that made us stronger When the eagle cries We will sacrifice When the eagle cries Freedom's fight When the eagle cries

Close your eyes and imagine the soldier at Valley Forge The suffering that he endured was real starvation, total war. Yet in has eyes the iron will to win and for the cause, he won't relent (Chorus) Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust His politics a birthright and our creed Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise Complacency, we're blinded by our greed Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands his musket clutched, an iron grip and for the cause, he has but one regret, he's only got one life to give (Chorus) Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust His politics a birthright and our creed Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise Complacency, we're blinded by our greed It's time for us, to open up our eyes, and cherish the lives we all can have and to the ones who kept our freedom free words can't express all that you've done (Chorus) Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust His politics a birthright and our creed Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

Emptiness consuming me Head in hands I can hardly speak Looking for solitude Lost in humanity Slow knowledge leads to suffering A constant quest An endless dream Searching for inner peace Hidden so deep in me Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Sadness comes knocking constantly Filling up my eyes For all to see Peace will come some day I pray that it finds a way Darkness caressing my mind and soul My spirit's rejecting I'm feeling cold Emptiness goes away Flees with the night and days Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man I'll rise up Like the phoenix from the ashes I'll float away With wisdom I turn away I turn away Hollow man Find yourself some other friend Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man
