In the brightness of the sunrise in the distance
That I feel in this blurry world
The broken hands of the clock
Start to move and then begin to fester again

I’m gonna survive.
Even if it is hard.
I’m gonna survive
As far as I see the flicker of hope

Adults’ excuses are full of contradictions
As they keep on repeating their mistakes
They hold them up high with a straight face, saying it’s fair
Now the comfort of being controlled…
People sneer and say there’s no bright future
Stretching out ahead of us
But we’re still alive

Energy, even if the world ends
Rise against, if I can see a light, no matter how faint
A sure energy will be born in me
I want to get back those bright days

I’m gonna survive.
Even if it is hard.
I’m gonna survive
As far as I see the flicker of hope

In the children’s eyes that have lost their sparkle
What’s reflected? What are they thinking about?
I can’t see any of the sky
It’s all blocked out by the huge buildings

Energy, what are we meant to do?
Rise against, the world can’t end like this
That’s the energy that builds up with each person
Move now, without hesitation
If the times have been closed off, open your eyes
(Don’t close your eyes)
The world is full of mistakes
But let’s not (let me go) look away
Even so, we’re still alive

At someone’s beck and call
What could I see, light or darkness?
Crushed by a huge pressure
What came from that was anger and tears
What’s fair, and what’s important?
If you let someone else think for you
You won’t see it, never give up!
There’s no exit, no tunnel
Believe that, and face it down now!

Energy, you’re carrying around a feeling you can’t express
Rise against, amid the swirling darkness
You can’t hide it
Even if the world goes on like this
Let’s not be afraid to change the present

Energy, even if the world ends
Rise against, if we wish for a light, no matter how faint
A sure energy will be born in us
Don’t break something pwerless
Fleeting things, things we love
Love them back (don’t forget)
This world is full of lies
But there’s no place (let me go) that we can’t get to
We’re alive now

I’m gonna survive.
Even if it is hard.
I’m gonna survive
As far as I see the flicker of hope
