The New Century (EP)

Tarek Kasmi The New Century (EP) Lyrics
1.We're Not Sorry

Apologies, good friend, for I have none at all!
The shame you teach is something to be overthrown.
I am who I am, and I'll never trade that in for a lifetime of
despair.
We said that we're not sorry, and we are really not.
I'll have no regrets, 'cause one day, you'll be gone and I will
have moved on.
No poison now, dear friends, for I just have no need;
The lies you burn and drink will never set you free.
I'll do what I want, and my life will not be bought by some
corporation.
My life won't be run by corporations.
Have you seen what they want?
They'd rather you be silent.
No hope and no free thought -- is that the life you swear by?
Have you seen what they want?
They'd rather you keep quiet.
Don't give them what they want.
Just refuse to comply.
We're all moving on!


2.Unchained

We are the sons and daughters, sent to erase this war.
Keep lit the flame as others once did before.
No longer will we stand for your organized disorder.
We'll rise up to our feet, ignite our hearts, and be free.
Unchain both your hands.
Stand up and fight back.
We deserve more than misery.
So, as the last light dies down, will we just waste away?
Or fight the ones in power, who keep us in chains?
The day of wait is over.
Rise against their new order.
Let a new energy ignite our hearts and be free.
We are more than desperate silence.
We are more, I swear.


3.The Quiet Of Morning

Remember when you spoke to me in a voice so sincere?
You said one day, you'd find a way to erase every fear.
The stupid kids we used to be never quite grew up.
We're innocent and young at heart, but out of all our luck.
You're even further now, but I still count down.
It's not like you asked for the world, but I know that you want
it.
I know that you need it. Well, if you had given me a reason, I'd
try to resent it.
I'd try not to give in, because I don't want you to go that way.
It seems that every day, we're walking closer to the end,
Where all the things that we once loved will never come again.
The hopeful eyes we used to have turned cynical in time.
Now, every streak of honesty is proof we're out of line.
But I hope that you know I'm not letting go.
Now, as we depart for the very last time, will you still hold on
or let it pass by?
The time that we spent and the friendships we made.
Together, we'll drift away.


4.The Sky Is Falling!

I'm writing you this letter to reflect upon the night
When the world was lit by light and all was said in song.
Open the gates! They screamed at last.
Tonight, in this room, we will have our final chance.
Purgatory can wait 'til morning -- there is no fear tonight!
The sky is falling, but we don't care.
We'll still march on, and you can't stop me now.
And so, we danced until the morning came, and, when it did, our
hearts fell like rain. Purgatory will come without warning, so
dance without fear tonight.
Give me your hand. We'll make this last.
Tonight, we're free. Give me your hand and we'll forget the
past.
Tonight, we're free!


5.The New Century

Open your eyes at last.
We are falling back into the promised land.
And here, I have found a new reason to fight again.
As we burn through the new century, we will fall back into
place.
Today, we scream out the songs that set our hearts on fire.
Regain the light of youth.
We are burning through with all of our hope renewed.
And here, you will find such stars within, alight for you.
Sing with me now. Fight back.
They do not deserve. Sing with me now.
Fight back. We are forever.
There is a siren sounding.
Our footsteps will shake the Earth.
Scream loud our battle cry as we spread our fire.
