Lyrics
Sadness fills me,
darkness descends
on our country,
we must resist
Nineteen eight four,
do you know it,
fascist hatred
for all beauty
Breathe in for your life,
as one who knows the truth,
you will defeat evil yet
Orwell could be
our new world
or we stand up
and we resist
Think of all
that you love
will you let die,
will you give up
Breathe in for your life,
as one who knows the truth,
you will defeat evil,
we will triumph over hate
Breathe in for your life,
as one who knows the truth,
you will defeat evil,
we will triumph, rise all together
love will win
