| We’re living in some violent times
|
| Silent we watch it in our homes
|
| Street warfare and white collar crimes
|
| As we turn off the feeling in our bones
|
| We’re witnessing the rise and fall
|
| It’s something that you know we all can see
|
| But who of us will heed the call
|
| Take a stand in the rise and fall
|
| May I be straight, may I be strong
|
| May I be able to tell right from wrong
|
| And pray that the end will be
|
| Somewhere above ground zero
|
| Rise and fall
|
| We’re witnessing the rise and fall
|
| It’s something that you know we all can see
|
| But who of us will heed the call
|
| Take a stand in the rise and fall
|
| We’re living in a human plague
|
| The worst plague of all for what it’s worth
|
| We see ourselves in the image of our gods
|
| And carve up this disposable earth
|
| We’re witnessing the rise and fall
|
| It’s something that you know we all can see
|
| But who of us will heed the call
|
| Take a stand in the rise and fall
|
| May I be straight may I be strong
|
| May I be able to tell right from wrong
|
| And pray that the end will be
|
| Somewhere above ground zero |
| Rise and fall |
