Lyrics

Gathered upon the shore, Willing to bow no more,
Those who haved reigned before,
Watch as the tide is turning..
Ready to make a stand, Take back the Mother land,
Now that the time`s at hand,
At last the tide is turning....

How we let them deceive us,
When they let us walk through the gates,
Then they closed them behind us,
Before we could see it was much too late,,

They came silently in the night
Conquered without a fight,
Then sold us that they were right
But now the tide is turning
They sought out the angry man
Changed all his battle plan,
Then shot him as he ran,
Yet inside the tide is turning

If you don`t want to believe it,
Thats you looking back from the flames,
See the mercury rising,
Feel it pushing up through your brain..

All that they see will be all they command,
Down to the valleys and over the land,
Fly like an arrow from freedoms own hand
Win back the voice that was taken,
Fall from the skies and rise up from the seas,
Travel on sunlight and dance on the breeze,
When all of the peaches are shook from the trees,
The seeds will grow tall and grow true
In the land of the free..

Remember the tales that were told every night
Of saviours and heros all up for the fight
where are they now?
They are nowhere in sight,
But there`ll be all new ones tomorrow..
High on a mountain, the seat of their throne,
they lay down the law and then carve it stone,
Those who wont heed will be stripped to the bone
Thats not the way it must be,
In the land of the free

"Watch for the whisperers,Gather all those,
Meeting on corners in uniform clothes,
Remind them that WE are the ones who were chosen
The only ones now who can save them"

So after the dust settles,where will we be?
Casting of chains to embrace liberty?
You can say what you like,
But don`t dare disagree
Now we are safe and secure
In the land of the free...

So we are waiting here down by the shore,
All who are willing to bow down no more,
Watching and waiting here just as before,
To see if the tide is turning..
With all of the tears that are falling in vain
We suffer our sins as it was preordained
But thats not the way that it`s bound to remain
That`s not the way it should be,
In the land of the free...
