There are screams in the streets (revised)
#1
I did a full revision and paid closer attention to the meter (as suggested in the feedback comments). I have attached the original to compare the differences. Thanks again to all those that replied. 


The sound of screams defines what they call right. 
Their voices raise up in passionate song.
So, lift your arms and join us in the fight.

The masses stand, an awesome mighty sight.
If all are right, then all souls must be wrong.
The sound of screams defines what they call right. 

The army troops display their strength and might.
The marching lines are drawn and standing strong.
So, lift your arms and join us in the fight.

They chant and march throughout the night til light.
As rushing rivers flowing fast and strong.
The sound of screams defines what they call right.

For all the clamor cannot dim the light.
The rising sides will clash with all that's wrong.
So, lift your arms and join us in the fight.

Or, will you stay in silence here tonight?
Or will you walk the jagged path laid long?
The sound of screams defines what they call right.
So, lift your arms and join us in the fight.


There are screams in the streets of what is right.
Voices lift up in one impassioned song.
Pick up your weapon and join in the fight. 

The masses stand, a staggering sight.
If ev’ryone's right then is everyone wrong?
There are screams in the streets of what is right.

The military shows its strength and might.
The marching lines are drawn and standing strong.
Pick up your weapon and join in the fight.

Marching and chanting from dusk until light.
Flowing like a river rushing headstrong. 
There are screams in the streets of what is right.

For all the clamor that can't be put to light. 
Sides rise up and clash with each other's prong.
Pick up your weapon and join in the fight.

Will you stand quiet and alone tonight,
Or will you walk the path laid out long?
There are screams in the streets of what is right.
Pick up your weapon and join in the fight.
Move within,
but don’t move the way fear makes you move.
