Raise Your Banner

(With Anders Fridén)

Blood for freedom

You're pushing me into the corner
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me

I'm crowning no man for his armour
Or rhapsody
For what I see
And what I feel

Wake up
I'm defying you
Seeing right through you
Once I believed in you

Wake up
Feel what's coming
Deep within we all know
Blood for freedom

So raise your banner
Fight your war
Break the silence
No remorse
Won't die within
Blood for freedom

Raise your banner
Won't you come
Fight the venom
The good die young
Won't die within

I'm feeling the eyes of the fallen
They're watching me
They make me see
They make me see

I'm feeling the pain how you break them
And make them bleed
You make them bleed
You make them bleed

Wake up
I'm defying you
Seeing right through you
Once I believed in you

Wake up
Feel what's coming
Deep within we all know

The way that you torment me
The way that you challenge me
The way that you make me bleed
Blood for freedom

So raise your banner
Fight your war
Break the silence
No remorse
Won't die within
Blood for freedom

Raise your banner
Won't you come
Fight the venom
The good die young
Won't die within

Blood for freedom

So raise your banner
Fight your war
Break the silence
No remorse
Won't die within
Blood for freedom

Raise your banner
Won't you come
Fight the venom
The good die young
Won't die within

When gods are failing
They put all heaven in a rage
We're on our own

Our tears keep falling
They're setting fire to the flame
Blood for freedom
