[Intro]
Am G F Dm
Am G F Dm
[Strophe]
         Am  G 
We are proud    individuals 
F                 Dm 
  Living for the city 
          Am 
But the flames 
          G       F      Dm 
Couldn't go much higher
[Strophe]
        Am    G 
We find  God     and religions 
F                       Dm 
  To bait us with salvation 
      Am       G 
But no one, no nobody 
     F            Dm 
Can give you the power
[Refrain]
    Am 
To rise 
    G 
Over love 
    F 
Over hate 
             Dm                               Am 
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind 
      G              F        Dm  Dm 
Over fear and into freedom
[Strophe]
            Am 
Oh, that's life 
                           G 
That's dripping down the walls 
                          F 
Of a dream that cannot breathe 
                Dm 
In this harsh reality 
         Am                      G 
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind 
                 F               Dm 
Serves now to define our cold society
[Refrain]
                  Am 
From which we'll rise 
    G 
Over love 
    F 
Over hate 
             Dm                                Am 
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind 
      G              F 
Over fear and into freedom 
Dm                        Dm 
   You've just got to hold on 
                        Am  G  Am G 
You've just got to hold on
[Instrumentale]
Am   G  F  Dm (continue over speech)

[Speech]
"To those who can hear me, I say... do not despair.

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,

the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,

and the power they took from the people will return to the people.

And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
 
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,

machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!

You are not machines! You are not cattle!

You are men! You, the people,

have the power to make this life free and beautiful,

to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Let us use that power, let us all unite."
[Refrain]
           Am 
And we'll rise 
    G 
Over love 
    F 
Over hate 
             Dm                           Am 
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind 
      G              F 
Over fear and into freedom 
     Dm 
Into freedom  
                  Am 
From which we'll rise 
    G 
Over love 
    F 
Over hate 
             Dm                           Am 
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind 
      G              F 
Over fear and into freedom 
  Dm      Am   G   F   Dm 
Freedom, freedom
[Outro]
             Am  G 
Oh, rain on me 
         F  Dm 
Rain on me 
         Am  G  F  Dm 
Rain on me 
Am G F Dm x2
