Thousands of rebels are slain. Survivors are captured and locked underground. There in the tunnels, people fear the end and are on the verge of giving up altogether. Soon however, an almighty blast above ground draws them from their despondency.
lyrics
Narrator
Men are captured
Women butchered
Few survivors
Hell unleashed
Railway tunnels
Dungeons calling
Deepest darkness
Trapped once more
Deep in the dark
Where hope it is lost
They’re counting the cost
Lives gone
Starr
Remember today
Remember it well
The day we fell
Cry away
Cry away
Don’t give up
We have to rise again
Narrator
Out of the sky
A light in the night
The shape is descending
Ablaze
The rebels below
The people aware
The shape explodes
Starr
Right away
Right away
Something’s wrong
We have to know
We have to leave
We have to rise again
