(verse 1)
Am F
When the darkness closed in all around

It didn't bring us down

It only made stronger for those days

When they turned our dreams to distant thoughts
C
The embers still burned hot
G
And now the flames will blaze
Chorus
Am
So let them burn
F
They set the fire
C
Now we can see
G
How they conspire
Am
But they've been shattered
F
Like broken glass
C
And now we're building better worlds
G
On the ashes of the past
verse 2

When oppression came here from all sides

We wouldn't play their game
G
We are the voices crying
Chorus
Am
So let them burn
F
They set the fire

On the ashes of the past
