[Intro]
Crack of a dawn, sirens in the street
We bite the bootheel, we won’t admit defeat
Crowded silence, hearts in a riot hue
We’re the loudest scream breaking through you
[Verse 1]
Dust on the sneakers, fists in the air
Shouting at the mirrors, losing every care
Rules to break, we’re the ones who won’t comply
Tearing down the posters of their polished lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the clock surrender, pounding in our throats
We’re faster than the headlines, louder than they wrote
[Chorus]
Riot, rise up, break the line tonight
We shout our names in neon, ignite the streetlight
No more cages, no more cages, free as we can be
Riot, rise up, let the truth break free
[Verse 2]
Chains are rusting on a factory floor
We slam the gates, we want to ask for more
Mask our fear with a chorus of the brave
We are the wrecking crew of every slave
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the alarm screaming, pulse in every fist
We’re the unwanted weather in a world dismissed
[Chorus]
Riot, rise up, break the line tonight
We shout our names in neon, ignite the streetlight
No more cages, no more cages, free as we can be
Riot, rise up, let the truth break free
[Bridge]
Walls crumble when we chant in unison
Feet on the stairwell, the uprising has begun
Pounding drums of rebellion, hearts unchained
We flood the avenues, a hurricane unrestrained
[Chorus]
Riot, rise up, break the line tonight
We shout our names in neon, ignite the streetlight
No more cages, no more cages, free as we can be
Riot, rise up, let the truth break free
[Outro]
We won’t be quiet, we won’t disappear
Till every voice is louder than the fear
Riot, rise up, fade into the dawn
We break the rules until the echo’s gone
