Streets of Violence by Effigy of Madness Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2021

They've pulled the triggers, lit the powder keg
Stolen innocence from this world, tore democracy to shreds
Still nothing changes, sign of our times
An eye for an eye that's left the whole world fucking blind

Time has come for a revolution
This time we've come for retribution
Too long, the voice of the people silenced
Rebellion burns in the streets of violence

The rampant chaos, under lawless rule
They stoked the fires of defiance, with acts so cruel
Silence the protests, ignore the pleas
Bring civil unrest, and their own system crumbling to it's knees

Time has come for a revolution
This time we've come for retribution
Too long, the voice of the people silenced
Rebellion burns in the streets of violence

[Solo]
But now our voices, deafen righteous ears
And the beaten and broken, united without fear
We stand in union, against kings without crowns
We the people rise up and burn their whole world to the ground

Time has come for a revolution
This time we've come for retribution
Too long, the voice of the people silenced
Rebellion burns in the streets of violence
