one global nation profound

It's time to unify..... "stand up"
Get up on your feet- Revolution

Branded and pierced, fists in the air tonight
Millions of lives, brought together by common ground
A family entwined, one global nation profound- Against the World

Pick up the tempo, it's getting late
You've got that inner need...... accelerate- The Quick and the Dead
