I didn't know there was a tower Where they look out to the land To see the people quickly passing by This is for their own desire As they spit down to the earth To feel the power Boiling in their veins Oh oh oh oh oh yeah Yeah Oh oh oh oh oh yeah Yeah And the black smoke rises From the fires we've been told It's the new age crisis And we will stand up in the cold Stand up in the cold Many people are dividing And a world apart With just one heart Is bound to keel and fade away None of us will be deciding And the fate of man is in the hands Of he who stands and heeds the call Oh oh oh oh oh yeah Yeah Oh oh oh oh oh yeah Yeah And the black smoke rises From the fires we've been told It's the new age crisis And we will stand up in the cold Stand up in the cold Oh oh Oh oh We won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (Oh oh) we won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (stand up in the cold) We won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (we will stand up in the cold) Yeah And the black smoke rises From the fires we've been told It's the new age crisis And we will stand up in the cold And the black smoke rises From the fires we've been told It's the new age crisis And we will stand up in the cold Stand up in the cold
