Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky lyrics

We are proud individuals living for the city
But the flames couldn’t go much higher
We find Gods and religions
To paint us with salvation
But no one, no nobody
Can give you, the power

To rise, over love over hate
Through this iron sky that’s
Fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom

Oh, that’s life
That’s dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society

From which we’ll rise, over love over hate
Through this iron sky that’s
Fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom

You’ve just got to hold on
You’ve just got to hold on

"To those who can hear me, I say
Do not despair the misery that is now
Upon us is but the passing of
Greed the bitterness of men who
Fear the way of human
Progress the hate of men will
Pass, and dictators die
And the power they took
From the people will return to the people
And so long as men die
Liberty will never perish don’t give
Yourselves to these unnatural men
- machine men with machine minds and
Machine hearts! You are not
Machines! You are not cattle! You
Are men! You, the people
Have the power to make this life free
And beautiful to make this life
A wonderful adventure let us use that
Power - let us all unite!"

And we’ll rise over love
Over hate through this iron sky that’s
Fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom into freedom

From which we’ll rise, over love over hate
Through this iron sky that’s
Fast becoming our mind over fear and into
Freedom, freedom
From which we’ll rise, over love over hate
Through this iron sky that’s
Fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom freedom, freedom

Oh, rain on me rain on me
