Into the Dungeon with evil men The people has risen we're free again Come out of the closet Come out of the hole Come out of the woodwork Come into the fold Rebels and fighters, a license to kill Unite with the bandits down from the hills Open your windows Open your doors Open your minds To a freedom of thought Raise our voices, raise our flag Smash the symbols of the life never had Long live the symbols Long live the scheme Long live our hopes Long live the dream Dance in the streets at the carnival Celebrate the victory now Drink the wine from the rich man's cask This revolution won't be the last
