Revert
To the theme of AmaLee's cover of Eir Aoi's "Ignite"
You long to set the web straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and press the revert down
(instrumental)
There was a time when I didn't know of reverting
But it faded like the fun in I had with editing
Is it a crime to see fault in encyclopedias?
Why do we create this cycle of hate, for more or less?
There's a pain deep inside of me
Edits struggling to keep alive
But if it lasts, I know we'll live to see a darker tomorrow
You long to set the web straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and press the revert down
Not caring about who you bite
You're giving life to a spark of edit wars
It burns bright just waiting to ignite
As editors join the war, this web's evolving to the site of a new beginning
(instrumental)
It stops at last, the relentless war I knew so well
Comes Arbitration but I can never pull away
Sanctions are set and you can't restart or change the past
But if given only one more chance would you edit the same?
I can feel it waste away inside
But the fire in me hasn't died
And I would rather get indeff'd than watch it all slowly fade away
I'm sick of being undone
And living by these mistakes that they put on
But I'll fix that with the Rollback tool
And adding in something more
I’ll carve a note on that page's bottom
There's still more that's still worth fighting for
Our battle cry is rising higher as raw emotion fuels the fire, piercing through the network
(instrumental)
The editors fall upon the darkness
Until the page is pitch black, protected
But when the page is unlocked, the curtains open wide
You long to set the web straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and press the revert down
Not caring about who you bite
You're giving life to a spark of edit wars
It burns bright just waiting to ignite
As editors join the war, this web's evolving to the site of a new beginning
