Aviators - Rebâtir (Freedom Cry) Lyrics
It's here on ashes that we stand
There's nothing left to see here
They let the world disappear
They said we'd see a brighter day
But they took freedom away
But they have failed at their own game
It tore at all frayed ends
Too burned to build again
And here we are to stand upon
The place they built their empire on
The place we came together with our friends
So, light a candle for the cause
They bared their teeth, we showed our claws
And here we are today
Now, take a second to inquire
Why you should fan this growing fire
Listen to our freedom cry
Here to rebuild or here to die
It's here together that we stand
The bricks we lay to guide us
Reflect the words inside us
Showing where we can be strong
Not what is right and what is wrong
But what we have defined on our own
Let's cut the ties around our dreams
Instead we'll trust and follow
Refusing to be hollow
And now I pledge to hold on to
The freedom shared with me and you
The life we are rebuilding unafraid
There's a time and a place
To show that we can erase
And we did
Oh we did
But not only did we take
We rebuilt for freedom's sake
And we are
We still are
They told us peace is submission
But that saying was a lie
Peace is when you listen
Take the time to hear their cries
Go, now my friend
This is what follows the end
Rebuild
We rebuild again

Aviators Rebâtir (Freedom Cry) Comments
A lot of your songs have been reminding me of Risurah from the "Within the ring of fire" RPG
Is it just me or does this song fit really well with the first Mistborn trilogy?
I think this one, over all the others, is my favorite. Godhunter is a close second.
Getting a really strong revolutionary war vibe here.
Here we can see strenght of the words
I dont know why i think about world war 2 but i cant help but imagen resitance fighter agaisnt nazi forces or soveit forces. I think of the polish resitance fighters the French everything.
I also cant help but get an communost revoultion vibe and thing of the October revoultion
reminds me of the aftermath of hl2's revolution
the black hand of namuras
its saruman backwards
song reminds of the polish freedom fighters of warsaw in ww2
Thank god im not the only one who hets world war 2 vibes from these songs
...Beautiful. Just... Just beautiful.
+Aviators you guys inspire me so much! I might write a story based on you if that's alright with you...it's going to be about 5 people surviving war and striving to get their freedom and home back...the main character is going to be the leader of course! Thanks for your inspiring, great, and relaxing music! Keep it up!
I have not heard this is a long time!
beautiful.
That Beat....... woah :=0
Bud light commercial on a song about freedom.
how did I get here from Undertale?
You'd be surprised where you can end up
Oh God, I feel so ... proud ... uh ... INSPIRED that it!
Random Transformers Reference Of The Day: Dude, just, just here me out. This song describes the beginning of the Decepticons, and their downfall from noble to barbaric. Told from the Autobots point of view, where they won the war, and stand on a destroyed Cybertron, where they will start to rebuild
in case you're wondering, it's pronounced Re-bia-tir. for people who don't know how to read other languages, (or know what sounds IPA standard uses), reh-byah-teer.
i like your channel, this musics it´s really amazing one more subscriber ;)
6 people are tyrants.
+RelativelyNiceGamer Down with the fascists! This is tyranny!
+RelativelyNiceGamer I call them "Bad Tastes"
This also goes great for Equestria Divided
This song...its...its so amazing. i've been stuck on writing a story about the struggles of a pony in a wasteland of the world that was left behind. This has helped me become inspired to write again. Thank you
This is me in math class
I like this song, like many of your other ones, but a couple lines really bother me.
Not what is right and what is wrong
But what we have defined on our own
Implying morality is what you make it; but you also regularly sing about the idea of fighting for truth as an absolute; suggesting that truth and righteousness are separable?
As a person gains more experience of the world, they lose the innocence they had as a child, they lose the naiveté of childhood and understand that the world is a harsh place that does not forgive mistakes, that most people are greedy and that everybody is selfish in one way or another (this isn't necessarily a bad thing) Atrocities happen across the world, committed by people, rape, murder, arson , etc. And to punish them would be the right thing to do, but the truth is that it does not matter how many people are incarcerated, or punished or killed because of the crimes they commit, because there will always be more people like that in the world. The truth stands as a stark contrast to morality, as morality is the tinted window that people look through in order to rationalise an irrational and senseless world, please do forgive my use of extreme circumstances, but I did so to illustrate my point
the reality of most situations do not align with the point of view given by righteousness, they can and do exist as separate entities, and they cannot be compared to each other, as it can be said that righteousness is just humanity's reaction to the true reality of life
@DJ.Penumbra Morality may or may not be a tinted window (We'll find out who's right if Judgement Day comes around), but I'll take my moral lies to the unchecked truth any day.
@DJ.Penumbra
(Sorry it took me so long to respond.)
If morality is created by society, then there is no such thing as righteousness, or at least no such thing as true righteousness.
You might say that war and slavery are wrong. Genghis Khan said the greatest pleasure a man could have was to kill his enemy, steal his goods horses and rape his women. He began the largest empire in the world, and so that philosophy would have ruled by majority vote. Does that mean that anyone who wanted peace was morally wrong since he went against the culture and the majority?
If Hitler had won World War 2, would that mean that everything he did was morally right since only those agreeing with him would be left alive?
If morality is determined by society, ultimately the only rule is that might makes right. The only other alternative is that there is a God who has the right to say that "murder is wrong".
I'll agree with you that morality can be likened to a tinted window, with no human having a perfect concept of it; but that analogy requires that there IS a real landscape on the other side of the window. Ten different people might look out this window and get different perspectives, but the landscape is what it is.
If there are a hundred trees but three people only see fifty, four see seventy, two miscount and say there's a hundred and ten and one person can't see any trees; this does not mean that the trees are only a figment of their imaginations, and that all guesstimates are equal. Some people are closer than others, but there ARE a hundred trees; and if all ten of the people agreed that there were ninety-five trees, all ten of them would be wrong.
@prussiaslilgilbird
Under what grounds are you calling your lies moral?
this was playing when i finished farcry 4
Ok, this song is awesome, but I love reading the massive circlejerk in the comments
Songs like this are why you stand unrivaled as my favorite artists (though some are close at the end of the day I go with Aviators). I love this one almost as much as Mirrors or Set Me Free. It's brilliant and really you inspire me to want to start from nothing and learn how to create my own music. So truly I have to say, thank you.
is this for ac black freedom cry
or for .....
I was looking at the lyrics and it reminds me a lot of The Hunger Games. The latest movie, that is. But it's really good!
When you look at the World then listen to the song, it says A billon more words then heard.
BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!
This song is even better now that the "Je suis Charlie" event happened...
Damn..was that really 2 years ago?
3 years now...
4 fking years man :0

This reminds me of the American revolution. This is a very great song, if others decide to say this song is horrorible, I beg to disagree.
You've got my subscription! :)
You are under arrest for being awesome.
You are guilty until proven innocent in the court of me.
Your sentence?
More music.
But that only builds the case against him!
Have I told you how much I LOVE your music!!
Hey Avi! I'd love to check out your Building Better Worlds! Could you please release it to Rhapsody?
When is building better wolds going up on iTunes?
I just purchased the Limited Edition Physical Copy of Building Better Worlds. Aviators you are beyond awesome.
Now to hope it gets on Spotify. I can't really blame them if it doesn't though.
It will be! Just like all his other big releases.
Will building better worlds be in ITunes?
@spaghetti lives I though you were talking about building better itunes
Aviators you my second favorite musician next to TLT
all of your songs are amazing your awesome
Listening to "This Is Not The End" and oh fuck I'm crying ;___; I THOUGHT THE DEMO YOU PLAYED IN THE STREAM WAS SAD AND HOLY TRUCKLOAD OF FEELS
This song had put me in a kind of trance XD I love it <3
Is the album on itunes...?
It isn't YET, but it will be within the next couple days.
@Henning A WOOOO
Forever have been a fan, and it hasn't been misplaced. This new album has yet again topples my impossibly high standards.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Donc, allume une bougie pour cette cause
Ils ont montré leur crocs, nous avons montré nos griffes
Et nous sommes là aujourd'hui
Nous avons chassé leur tyrannie
Maintenant prends une seconde pour te demander
Pourquoi tu devrais éventer ce feu croissant
Ecoute notre cri de liberté
Ici pour rebâtir ou ici pour mourir
@MissAmelie1997 vive la france xD
@MissAmelie1997 un peut trop littéral à mon goût
Oui la France est présente !!
ça sent le google traduction
like da shado' ♫♪
This awkward moment when a non french native spelled better a world than you would whereas you are a french native :(
Help! This album is too awesome! Everything is amazing! xD
In my personal opinion this is by far the best album you've made so far, absolutely amazing!
I was in the live stream when you previewed Avi, I gotta say, you've out done yourself again. This album easily jumps to the top of my favorites list. You are amazing at making powerful music that, to me, sends very clear messages. Thank you for being so damn awesome
This is so good!
"There's a time and a place to show that we can erase"
"There's a time and place for everything, but not now." Professor Oak begs to differ.
Ro Ro, Fight the Power!
this song would be really sound good with Transformers
It blows my mind everytime I see an album with a story. It's just so epic to have that.
Amazing!
Awesome song, as always, but why is the title in French ? Not that I don't appreciate when someone can say anything else than "omelette au fromage" in my language, but I don't see the utility.
+AbdonisLaChangeline i think it s because of history of your country, and how people fought for freedom. just my thought, reason may be different
(btw i know that cause here in ukraine we have always been fighting for freedom and still are, and oviously, it means more to us, even if freedom is not ours)
godspeed your way in the Ukraine
Rebatir means Rebuild..... And that's the theme of this album.... And Rebitir sounds a lot better in a title than rebuild
Moi je trouve ça cool les références françaises dans les autres pays ! Mais je crois que c'est une chanson sur la Révolution Française
Disappointment seems to be something you are incapable of causing. Every song you've made, I've always enjoyed, with only a few being better listened to once, but none that are bad. When I FINALLY get a music playing device, I'll likely download every song you've ever produced.
I did the same thing
I can't express how awesome this song is! You never stop surprising me! I'll buy the whole album when I earn more money!
This is amazing :D
Just Fantastic!
this song is awesome, It really inspires me and I just been listening it all day, its just so... awesome ;u;
Hey aviators mate you think this album will be available on iTunes anytime soon? Would get it immediately if it was
Oh, and I forgot about the most important thing, will you give lyrics to those songs? It would be very, very nice to have a possibility to learn them and sing :D.
Could you upload "This is not the end" here on Youtube? Anyway, how can I pay for this album? Is there possibly to buy it by a mobile phone? (I don't have a bank account so..., but I really want to buy this album. It's amazing! Especially "This is not the end" - that's why I wanted you to play it on the livestream few days ago ;) ).
@wojtekzwawy2 oh uh then idk sorry
I know Aviators is on Spotify, though I don't know how long it takes him to get songs on there. You can buy a pre-paid PayPal giftcard at a store like CVS and use it to buy from Bandcamp (the best store), though if you're on iOS you'll need to use a computer to sync it, though on Android you can download it straight from Bandcamp onto your phone. I believe he is also on Google Play and iTunes, but Bandcamp is still the best option if it's available (it's the deluxe version of the album with a few extra songs not present elsewhere).
@Techniponi Alright. Thanks :P
@wojtekzwawy2
He already announced 'This Is Not The End' will get uploaded to YouTube. After all, it seems to be one of the most hyped songs of this album. And yes, this will also be available on other retailers like iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and Amazon MP3, but not until the end of the week.
@Henning A Alright. Thank you for informations :)
Finally! OH MY GOD... Awesone! This is the best album I've ever heard. Thanks man! :D (Now I gonna find this sad song, then I can die happy :D)
a french title ? hu , and that means : rebuild.
I have the slight suspicion that you really want a revolt.
I know i do. lol
Somebody say Revolt?
Viva la revolution!!
This is the best song for ever!
Just found you on YouTube. Listened to Building Better Worlds. Obsessed with your music!
Simply beautiful.
AC Unity theme right here. C'mon guys, I can't be the only one thinking this.
Not glitchy enough to be the theme.
@Mick Dagger Made my day
duvagr007 I was here thinking it was about the Freedom Cry DLC from AC:IV. Close enough
This is the kind of song I'd hear in a cool movie
I missed it when you guys were like sort of an 80's alternative band :/ that was a unique sound, now you're going mainstream... Though I do still see some of that influence in your songs. But I still miss those songs like Open Your Eyes, Fear of Flight, Friendship, and Someone Like Me.
Its just one guy :3
Oh I know it's one guy, it's just habit.
In all honesty, his newer stuff made me like him even more than I already did. He's even my favorite artist now.
@Michael T. S. Hes my fav too
Will be more songs form Building Better Worlds here pn YouTube? .3. xD
There... are no words. Just keep being awesome guys!
This is absolutely brilliant. Honestly, i love this song!
Oh, and happy New Year. May it bring you a bright new world =D
There are no words to describe the perfection of the piece of art this album is...
So I'll just say nothing else, since there's no words for this amount of beautifulness and awesomeness.
The lyrics really speak to me. Especially now with the oppression of the hackers these past weeks.
Oppression of the hackers? lol
I'm confused. Are you saying hackers are oppressing or being oppressed?
Yes, I meant them oppressing us. By hacking game networks and the such. I'm mostly talking about the hackers involved in the "Interview" predicament.
@big e Weren't the hackers involved with the interview the ones that released it via torrents after Sony said that they wouldn't release it (Due to NK terror threats)?
I find it slightly ironic that the album is about change, yet the theme seems to be angels and heaven (a lot of the song titles have themes like that)... Arguably the most stagnant of idea's, or idea that causes stagnation.
Again. Yet another master piece. Thank you for another great song. Keep it up man.
Magic is real. It's flowing from this song and spreading through the world.
This album is incredible! Consistent and unique. Every single song is absolutely beautiful.
It's gonna take me MONTHS to figure out which ones my absolute favorites are. Not that that is a bad thing.
Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this.
And as a fan, I will of course do my best to make sure that this will get heard! <3
Yep, I ordered the physical copy, I couldn't be happier (shipping to the UK be dammed).
My favorites so far have got to be Crash, The Surface and Mechanical Instinct.
I ordered the physical copy as well. I already own four of his albums on CD, so naturally I had to get one of this release as well. xP
My personal favorites so far are Static, Blur The Line, The Surface and the title track, Building Better Worlds. I guess it didn't take me months to pick those after all, but it definitely wasn't easy...
@Henning A I have to admit I made a list of three but I could honestly put all the songs on the album on that list (apart from maybe to two remixes, I was never a huge fan of most remixes). I find it very hard to pick favorites out of this album because some of the songs are so different in style it isn't possible to directly compare them.
@OPST Jamiek
Weird. for some reason I didn't get a notification for this reply... But it doesn't really matter, since I found it anyway.
So glad this was made. xD
@OPST Jamiek
Also, for me, picking favorites is not really about comparing songs with each other, at least not entirely. It's more about figuring out which are the ones that resonate the most with you. Because music _always_ tells a story, wether the songs have lyircs or not. But of course it's also a little bit about figuring out which ones just sound best to you. :P
I love this song dude!
So far, this album has turned out to be more amazing than I ever could have prepared myself for.
You are AWESOME man!
awesome song dude! btw, is it just me, or did anyone else think that this song would work for sonic the hedgehog? =)
Heeere we go! Been waiting for this for a long time now! Thanks for the awesome new year's gift to your followers Aviators! ^^/)
Best Album of 2014
Also First
cool beans
i love it
Absolutely amazingly without a doubt this tops my music collection what a great way to end 2014 thanks aviators for all the beautiful music you've created hope you have a wonderful year
Awesome! XD
