Phoenix
The Drake Equation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rise up.
Before it′s too late.
This is a prophecy that we create.
We will never go back to when the lifeless souls plagued the streets.
Walking with no goal on their own two feet.
Made by those vicious enough.
To exploit and destroy all our trust.
Endless plains.
Emerge before our eyes.
And all these.
Blank pages where we'll rewrite our story.
With the aim on a greater world.

All the books you burned.
We′ll write them again.
Rise from the ashes well and ready to extend.
Freedom is the only option now.
Educate then escalate to new levels of life.

The future will be harder than the past.
Your easy answers won't last.
Cus we're all the same.
And you′re the one to blame.
For the time we′ve been part of the cast.
Now the tables are turned.
Bringing back what is lost.
And be sure we'll be armed.
With what we learned at our own cost.

Endless plains.
Emerge before our eyes.
And all these.
Blank pages where we′ll rewrite our story.
With the aim on a greater world.

Those in charge should fear the people.
Those in charge should work for the people.
The people should be in charge.
The people will be in charge.

So it's up to us now we′ll rely on each other.
If one falls he'll be carried by the others.
We stand united.
By knowledge we′ll be guided.
Rebuilding what's been divided.

Endless plains.
Emerge before our eyes.
And all these.




Blank pages where we'll rewrite our story.
With the aim on a greater world.
