Rebâtir (Freedom Cry) - Aviators

It’s here on ashes that we stand

There’s nothing left to see here

They let the world disappear

They said we’d see a brighter day

But they took freedom away

And then played their cards upon our fear

But they have failed at their own game

It tore at all frayed ends

Too burned to build again

And here we are to stand upon

The place they built their empire on

The place we came together with our friends

So, light a candle for the cause

They bared their teeth, we showed our claws

And here we are today

We drove their tyranny away

Now, take a second to inquire

Why you should fan this growing fire

Listen to our freedom cry

Here to rebuild or here to die

It’s here together that we stand

The bricks we lay to guide us

Reflect the words inside us

Showing where we can be strong

Not what is right and what is wrong

But what we have defined on our own

Let’s cut the ties around our dreams

Instead we’ll trust and follow

Refusing to be hollow

And now I pledge to hold on to

The freedom shared with me and you

The life we are rebuilding unafraid

There’s a time and a place

To show that we can erase

And we did

Oh we did

But not only did we take

We rebuilt for freedom’s sake

And we are

We still are

They told us peace is submission

But that saying was a lie

Peace is when you listen

Take the time to hear their cries

Go, now my friend

This is what follows the end

Rebuild

We rebuild again
