Paolo Nutini - Iron sky lyrics

Your rating:

We are proud individuals 
Living for the city 
But the flames 
Couldn’t go much higher 

We find God and religions 
To bait 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 

[Charlie Chaplin’s speech from The Great Dictator] 
“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, freedom 

Oh, rain on me 
Rain on me 
Rain on me
