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
