New California Rising

(ahhhh) Out of the ash and the radioactive dust

Under a sun

we no longer trust

They thought our flag was buried in the clay

Thought the republic had vanished away

But deep in the bunkers,

behind rusted steel

A promise survived that was silent but real (oh-oh-oh)

Raise up the two-headed bear to the sky

Tell the survivors our hope didn't die

Out of the shadow and back to the sun

The march of the state

has only begun

We heard the screams of the enclave's old reign

We felt the shackles,

we carried the pain

But a nation is born in the hearts of the free

Rebuilding the land from the waste to the sea

Raise up the two-headed bear to the sky

Tell the survivors our hope didn't die

Out of the shadow and back to the sun

The march of the state

has only begun

We're coming home (coming home)
