[Verse 1]
They say you can't bear freedom, but we know you feel it's right
You are uniqueâ
becauseâ
of our sharedâ
purpose
Which they all lack, decadent wastersâ
of life
[Chorus]
Turn your eyes towards the sun
See the future beckonâus
Weâcanâtake the worldâas one
In ourâdestiny, we trust
Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood
We were born to rise above
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
[Verse 2]
We do not require participation
Let anomie breed alienation
Then in an orgasm of aesthetic spectacle
Clamor for your own enslavement
[Chorus]
Turn your eyes towards the sun
See the future beckon us
We can take the world as one
In our destiny, we trust
Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood
We were born to rise above
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
Fiat ars - pereat mundus
[Chorus]
Turn your eyes towards the sun
See the future beckon us
We can take the world as one
In our destiny, we trust
Let nothing stand in our way, and let nothing us dismay
So now summon up your blood
We were born to rule the world
