Pound
Fight for your ground
Time to get loud
Face down the crowd
Vengeance avowed
Push the bastards down
No time like right now
No longer allowed
Rise up with sound!
A symbol for us all to cling
A gesture of the simple things
Exposed expression a smirking grin
Exposed aggression they’re darkest sins
Resting place of the rightest right
Predisposed to fight the fight
Navigate the raging sea
A compass to your sweetest dreams
Proud
Stand by your vows
Lost souls now found
Finally unwound
Orange fields have been plowed
Pushed the bastards down
You’ve found your true crowd
Forever now we’re bound
Hypocrisy uncrowned
