Riot
Neverland in Ashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We Are, We Are The Riot!
We Are, We Are The Riot!
We Are, We Are The Riot!
We Are, We Are The Riot!

To the ones who want to live
To the ones who want to thrive
What do you say? What do you think?
When you aim for the crown,
When you reach for the stars why are they cutting you down?

We raise our flags
Ignite the flame
Break the silence
Can you hear us scream?

You can’t divide us
You can’t deny us
Inside the empire
We Are The Riot
They try to break us
They try to brainwash
Can’t keep us silent
We Are The Riot!

When you’re leaving the path most travelled by
When you cut through the noise and reach for the sky
Then they chew us up, spit us out
But we become faces, faces in a faceless crowd
And the whisper gets loud

We raise our flags
Ignite the flame
Break the silence
Can you hear us scream?

You can’t divide us
You can’t deny us
Inside the empire
We Are The Riot
They try to break us
They try to brainwash
Can’t keep us silent
We Are The Riot!

What do you say? What do you think?
When the few are kicking you down?
Does it strike a nerve when our voice is heard?
Does it hurt when we ascend to the throne?


You can’t divide us
You can’t deny us
Inside the empire
We Are The Riot
They try to break us
They try to brainwash
Can’t keep us silent
We Are The Riot!
