Crown The Empire - Call To Arms (Act I) Lyrics






Dear citizens of the New Fallout,
For too long, our society has succumbed to the tyranny of our own actions
Wars, riots, we have tolerated the scum
And have graciously cleaned up the mess.
Well, no more!
You have all been a consequence of the disease known as freedom,
And now it is time to take that freedom away!
As of today, you will be stripped of your identity,
And anything you hold dear in life
For it is your individuality that has led to your destruction.
Your children will be left to rot as punishment for your indiscretion,
And the lives you have lived until now will be nothing but a memory.
This is for the survival of the race!
This is for the New Fallout!
This is the end!

In the darkest night, the faintest light is blinding.
In the darkest night, the faintest light is blinding.

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

This is the resistance!
It's a call to arms,
The anthem for all those who don't belong.
We're here to take our stand.

This is the resistance!
It's been far too long,
That we've put all our faith in to the corrupt.

It's time to start the end!

Crown The Empire Call To Arms (Act I) Comments
  1. l.... ....

    Communists be like

  2. N.... D....

    I’ve always loved CTE, but I feel this song should of been released now. With everything going to, I feel it fits what’s going on with immigration in this country. It’s like it was written against his Administration.

  3. M.... S....

    I love this so much 💜

  4. T.... O....

    just finding this now... :/

  5. S.... ....

    Im that one person that should be asleep at 1:43 am because school but nope here i am

  6. j.... c....

    So is the song for or against freedom? Because I am seeing people take away more freedoms in the world and it makes me want to go back. I personally don't see freedom as the enemy I see it as the solution, the enemy is in riots in things but that's because people are being idiots mostly not because freedom

  7. P.... m....

    i memorized the intro

  8. M.... H....

    *Your children will be left to rot as punishment*
    Me *Hey can I join*

  9. A.... R....

    The whole damn album still good asf ❤️❤️🤙

  10. I.... ....

    dbz reference?

  11. D.... ....

    The vocalization in the background is hauntingly amazing.

  12. I.... D....

    i like of mice and men to

  13. M.... R....

    THIS IS THE RESISTANCE!!

  14. D.... 1....

    Thats why im thankful I dont live the USA

  15. C.... ....

    1:06 this is for the spark of ovaries

  16. A.... B....

    Relevant for the U.S. as of late.

    A.... B....

    Anthony Breznican Half of your comment consists of him not being able to self-defend property, which I agree he is terrible at taking any guilt. But that's not an issue that makes him not be able to do a good president job. He is not silencing scientists he is forcing them share their results with the media, something which could give great opportunities. He already said he changed his mind about climate change. The abortion part is fucked up yes but half Americans don't like abortions so that can't be helped. Nearly all the new executive orders he has signed have been good or improved the last. He's been avoiding attacks, that one from Yemen was just one, have you seen how many happened during Obama? No of course you haven't because the media isn't exaggerating like crazy to get people to hate Obama.
    As mentioned the media is completely against Trump and they exaggerate a lot of information about Trump, not to mention forge it in a way to make Trump sound horrid.
    I don't think you realize that he's done more good than bad so far. All he needs to do is stop being a little kid and leave abortions alone and he's pretty much ok lol.
    Just be a bit open minded I think? that's just my opinion of the situation, don't take it too seriously :)

    A.... B....

    I mean, I disliked Obama because I know about all of the drone strikes and bombings that were made under his orders during his 8 years in office. But I feel that Trump is already walking down that path, and if he's creating this much unrest in the first two weeks, I can't help but worry about what the next four years will bring. They both disgust me.

    And don't even get me started on that business with the wall. It's a ridiculous idea that will only end in higher taxes for the American people, and Rat Patrol teams finding more illegals in the tunnel systems, and on airplanes.

    Where was it said that he changed his mind about climate change? I will have to look into that to fact check it. All I have to go off of are his Twitter feed, and the very few bipartisan news sources out there. Also, I recall scientists being up in arms about not being able to update the populace via social media hence why they had to create a "Rogue NASA" Twitter account among other "protest" Twitter and Facebook pages.

    Keep in mind that despite being a college student, I'm by no means a Democrat. I swing more as a Libertarian, which I am in fact registered as.

    A.... B....

    Anthony Breznican Thanks for being open minded with me and not attacking for having different beliefs! :)
    The wall part was part of his campaign and I doubt he took it seriously himself! But now he has to complete his promises... People actually want that wall....
    I am unsure if it's legit that he actually changed his mind about global warming or not with all this fake media going around, but I'm sure he's changed his mind about a lot of things that happened during the campaign.
    However about the fact that he's avoiding interfering in wars I'm quite sure about! or at least that's his mentality on the subject but his actions might be different.
    I actually was pretty scared that this man would mean a huge threat to whole world but so far he's done a decent job and think he doesnt deserve the shit he's been getting. What's more frightening is how people react! The violence is insane and everyone supporting the trump gets beat-up or at least sprayed! What's worst is that they want to assassinate the idiot that's been chosen by the majority. You can't do that in a democracy....

    A.... B....

    To be fair, Hillary won the majority. I'm not one of those people that feel the need to do away with the Electoral College, but it DOES need a major reform, or at least needs to be recalibrated. I can understand if someone loses the popular vote by a few thousand, and still gets the presidency. But MILLIONS? And then the guy is a complete child about it, and insists that a bunch of illegals voted for Hillary, or that his inauguration attendance is much bigger than what photograph evidence shows. I don't think that Trump supporters who are good people should be attacked, BUT when white nationalists walk around yelling "Hitler did nothing wrong", as much as I love the first amendment, I think they deserve to be punched in the face. They really shouldn't call foul if they spew racist bullshit openly, and get assaulted by "Actual Cannibal" Shia Labeouf. I, personally, have been trying to give Trump a chance, but he just keeps making me more and more certain that I was right to vote for a pot-smoking idiot who doesn't know what Aleppo is over him and Clinton. I do hope that he gets impeached, and Pence doesn't do anything too destructive while the GOP tries to restore their public image.

    A.... B....

    As of late? More like the last 200+ years. Like most "great empires" that have risen and fallen before.

  17. A.... M....

    Man I just played batman arkham city and this... I just thought of this song..

  18. Y.... P....

    ........

  19. L.... P....

    What's the song at the end?

  20. S.... C....

    I can always rely on Crown The Empire for dark music.

    S.... C....

    Oh yeah... Retrograde is so dark... I'm disappointed

    S.... C....

    @For The Last Time This was before retrograde. Obviously. He commented before it was even made.

    S.... C....

    @David Schultz This was commented exactly when Retrograde had came out

  21. T.... W....

    I <3 how at the end the shouting doesn't just start, instead a pause is made, then it starts. That's just awesome

  22. C.... S....

    This band is so theatrical and badass! I LOVE THIS INTRO!

  23. T.... ....

    The ad that played was We Dont Have To Dance by Andy Black (Biersack) xD YouTube loves me!! 😂😍😍😂😂

    This is the end!

  35. G.... S....

    This could be a friggin' good movie

  36. K.... S....

    Can someone please! PLEASE! Write out the speech at the start!

  37. P.... R....

    So I've recently bought tickets to go see an upcoming OM&M concert that Crown the Empire and Volumes are also playing at, so naturally I came to listen up better on the two bands I didn't particularly listen to that much yet. So I pull up this sonG AND HOLY SHIT I THINK A LOG CAME OUT OF MY ASS. I just wish this songsong was longer, because holy shit that was good. Great band. Awesome song.

  38. M.... P....

    Honestly one of the best concept albums I've heard in a while

  39. B.... D....

    If this song would be used for a trailer on Call of Duty, that would be epic

  40. A.... K....

    I can't remember where I saw it, by someone actually went it there and made music video of this.

  41. A.... R....

    I still can't get over how much I love them and their music xD

  42. s.... c....

    再次天暗的夜晚, 即使世界的....

  43. s.... �....

    BEST FUCKING ALBUM EVER!!
    I have waited two whole years after the fallout to see what happens in the end. I have just gotten both albums for Christmas including the first album Limitless. I listened and I have witnessed the greatest story/albums ever. Keep rocking CTE and I can't wait to see you here in Texas in the music festival. Love you guys and take care.

  44. B.... I....

    I've only recently found out about this band and already I am in love!! :D

    B.... I....

    @Brandon IsUndead same

    B.... I....

    Then please don't listen to Retrograde

    B.... I....

    For The Last Time I actually liked Retrograde for the new sound. I have to say though that The Resistance was far more intense and visual for an album.

  45. H.... K....

    can somebody do the lyrics plz. I understand anything

    H.... K....

    they're in the descriptions

  46. T.... ....

    i like both albums let them continue on their great impression 

  47. A.... ....

    gets cool at 2:29

  48. J.... M....

    So I was listening to this, and I'm on another browser. The song ends, and MMF starts playing. I thought I had been cheated.

  49. Y.... D....

    a full ver. must be awesome !! (y)

  50. S.... R....

    this album is the best 

  51. N.... J....

    ok so that first minute or so was creepy af but really good

  52. R.... ....

    Could this album be considered to be the same general concept as 1984 by George Orwell? (The main idea in 1984 is that all of society is controlled by a higher power, forced to adhere to all rules or risk severe consequences)

    Thought of this because it felt as "The Fallout" was similar to the tail of Romeo and Juliet :)

    I could be wrong tho.

    R.... ....

    If you look at lyrics and take an in depth look at the album covers, you can see they have a deeper and figurative meaning. Limitless featuring a puppet master (a force making publicity stunts), The Fallout symbolizing Doomsday, and TR:ROTR being an album featuring the Scarecrows and not falling for their orders (Watch 'Machines' to get a better understanding) and getting brainwashed.

    R.... ....

    @The Son Of Sparda Cool thanks for the info :D Machines did seem to be more Propaganda and defiance as you mention :)

    R.... ....

    @RetributionFX │ Gaming, Guides, Minecraft and MORE! No, prob. Jst helping fellow Runaways understand why CTE  writes the music and how.

    R.... ....

    @The Son Of Sparda :D

  53. G.... S....

    this album is literally life right now. Not even kidding

  54. M.... M....

    17 don't like.
    Fuck yeah

  55. G.... L....

    Just realized they speak swedish in the beginning! AWESOME! #proudswedemoment *  

    G.... L....

    *sarcastic hashtag. Even though it's true.

    G.... L....

    when? can you put a time stamp?

    G.... L....

    @RetributionFX │ Gaming, Guides, Minecraft and MORE!
    I think around 1:25? There is a background voice? Im not sure but that the only thing I've heard that is not english.

  56. B.... L....

    Reminds me of The Emptiness by Alesana. Super dark and theatrical. Awesome concept that they are going for! 

  57. F.... C....

    Anyone knows the fake voice lyrics ?

    F.... C....

    Dear citizens of the New Fallout,
    For too long, our society has succumbed to the tyranny of our own actions
    Wars, riots, we have tolerated the scum
    And have graciously cleaned up the mess.
    Well, no more!
    You have all been a consequence of the disease known as freedom,
    And now it is time to take that freedom away!
    As of today, you will be stripped of your identity,

    Your children will be left to rot as punishment for your indiscretion,
    And the lives you have lived until now will be nothing but a memory.
    This is for the survival of the race!
    This is for the New Fallout!
    This is the end!

    F.... C....

    @BrookeLynn Speshok Thanks.

  58. M.... D....

    Omfg this album💖💖💖💖

    M.... D....

    I love you :)

  59. O.... M....

    What is the song at the end!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  60. J.... B....

    Beautiful first song to an even better album :) favorite album of all time!

  61. F.... ....

    What song is at the end?

  62. s.... a....

    they signed my phone at 2014 warped tour in Indiana made my day they r my favorite band ever <3 ^~^

  63. k.... ....

    "The anthem for all those who don't belong" that reminds me of "we don't belong" by Black Veil Brides

    Love this song tho

  64. M.... B....

    SMILING AND MY HEART IS POUNDING. THIS IS GREAT.

  65. M.... S....

    I think they could make a not-so-long-movie for the albums! This one is what I've been dreaming since The Fallout... Amazing songs ❤️

  66. E.... G....

    This storied lyric style reminds me so much of Alesana :) Two thumbs up.

  67. r.... w....

    i only live for music anymore without music im nothing

  68. W.... a....

    First time I've listened a song of the new album and I love it

  69. D.... P....

    Andy's vocals have seriously improved with this album. Dave's have done just as much. It sounds like there's actual technique behind their vocals. Now, I'm not saying that they couldn't sing at all before this album, it's just their vocals sound more refined and practiced this time around. 

  70. M.... d....

    This song is my ringtone, lol.

  71. L.... L....

    I've been waiting for this album forever and now i've got it! omigawd :3

  72. g.... ....

    this album reminds me a lot of the BVB album "Wretched and Divine" 

    g.... ....

    I love this song(:

    g.... ....

    They're both concept albums with some similar ideas, so yeah, I would agree on that point. They sound absolutely nothing alike though.

    g.... ....

    I was just going to say that; I completely agree

    g.... ....

    misfitforever20 I think The Resistance: Rise Of The Runaways should've been made into a movie like Wretched & Divine was. That would've been amazing.

    g.... ....

    @Stephen Oakes I agree dude. I honestly hate BvB.

  73. �.... ....

    google小姐 1:26

  74. g.... ....

    Oh god, i love you guys so much, ive been waiting so long for the new album

  75. J.... S....

    This was honestly a greaaaaaat album. Like the whole theme that they implemented. Been listening to them since the first music they brought out. Keep up the good work.

  76. b.... b....

    Everyone just keeps complaining about this album, honestly I love this album just as much as The Fallout, but no one seems to care about this one as much, music is to tell a story, to express ones self, or 'selves. Andy and David how they intertwine is genius, this album is way more powerful then anyone I've seen has noticed, quit comparing this album to The Fallout. the Fallout was the beginning of an end. This album, The Resistence: Rise Of The Runaways is a story. One that brings an end, hope. (if you understand what I mean). The Runaways are the hope for those victims of the fallout. So why be so creepy, and scary, to those who need hope. In my eyes this album is basically the light that they need. (I'm talking about the story).

  77. d.... ....

    Agreed that the song ads at the end kind of ruin it.

    d.... ....

    What do you mean by the song ads ?

    d.... ....

    I mean the Rise band being promoted at the end of the song that isn't CTE.

    d.... ....

    oh okay got it thanks

  78. d.... ....

    @2:27 it reminds me of The Word Alive

  79. d.... ....

    I like how they kept teasing us with one song at a time until the big release because they know more people will watch a 4 minute video one at a time than listen to a 45 minute albumn stream in one sitting.

  80. M.... '....

    i've listened since limitless this band is my favorite and i love what you guys are doing :D

  81. M.... W....

    bought that Vans Warped Tour 2014 hoodie of theres i fucking will not wear that i will keep that shit packaged

    M.... W....

    y ruin it lol

    M.... W....

    Lol ohh haha true

  82. l.... s....

    They deserved that breakout award there music is soo good, good job on this one

  83. s.... ....

    First time ever listening to them. Oh my fuck. I need to bite someone. Too fuckin excited. Where the fuck was I this whole time?! Oh my fuckin gah.

  84. C.... -....

    I love this it should have been longer!! :)

  85. K.... H....

    Started from the bottom now they here..cte has came a long way I'm so pround of them 🎶🎧👌😁

  86. m.... r....

    This album is the best . 😍✨

  87. X.... ....

    I feel like this is what they should've released 2 years ago. Hell yeah. Consider me a fan again. It's like the best of the EP and album put into one. Also love the darker vibe.

    X.... ....

    Tell me, what was arrogant about my comment again? I would love to know what your definition of arrogance is. Because you're totally misusing that word. All you've been doing is either making comebacks or dictating who is a "real fan" or not by your comment and context. 

    X.... ....

    @Bryan Weeks Nnnnnno.You did.

    X.... ....

    @Sam Fowler nope to be a fan you have to like the shit. not all of it, but if you like some of it you're a fan.

    X.... ....

    That's kind of what I was trying to put across, all I was saying with that was that you can't say someone isn't a true fan if they don't like a song xD

    X.... ....

    Well i mean they don't need to know a lot about the band, maybe they just like their stuff. Heh i'm not trying to be rude or anything i just see people say stuff like that and defining "real" fans when to be a fan you have to enjoy whatever the "thing" is and call yourself a fan. If you do those 2 things, you're a fan congrats. lmao I just felt like responding bc you said you have to know a lot heh which is untrue but will probably happen by virtue of association. 

  88. P.... G....

    very foooooooood

  89. A.... K....

    Why the hell do they put snippets of other songs at the end of an album stream?

    A.... K....

    @*****
    easy to get around that though

  90. N.... ....

    Loving this album... Been listening to It all day yesterday as I play games on iTunes with first look :D so glad its finally out!
