Repetition Arising

I felt alone in the streets
An outcome so very bleak
I just fixated ahead
To the dark days to be dread
It then occurred to me
That someone in my vicinity
Was suffering just like me
As they awake
From this same dream

Did it ever cross your mind
That it was going to end
It's just a twisted dream
Of a few deluded men
It falls upon thee
A repeat in history
Did you really think we'd sleep
While you take everything

It all begins to spread
A ripple in effect
You better start to prepare
To pay us a new respect

The beast is awake
The serpent rises in us all
It's now our turn to take
It's now our time to enthrall

Did it ever cross your mind
That it was going to end
That the veil you cast
Has begun to wear thin
It calls upon thee
A repeat in history
Did you think we'd just stand by
And take your tyranny

The beast is awake
The serpent rises
A turn to take

It all begins to spread
A ripple in effect
You better start to prepare
To pay us some respect
Did it ever cross your mind
That is was going to end
That this twisted fate
Was just a passing trend
If it falls upon me
This repeat in history
Did you really think I'd stand by
While you're oppressing me
