Lyrics Rise - Surveillance

Rise

A sleeping giant stirring
Provoked to wake
The winter sky is burning
Pupils dilate
We are forgotten children
Orphans of dreams
Enslaved by gilded lies
And torn between extremes
Pulses pound like drums
What have we become?
Blood spills from our veins
Cast off these binding chains
CH
And if we fail, at least we tried
We can still hold our heads high
We are the strong, we are the just
Here’s hoping Time remembers us
Fury like raging waters
The fuse alight
Discord and gasoline
Illuminate the night
Beyond the point of breaking
The fear dissolves
A situation
Only violence can resolve
Pulses pound like drums
What have we become?
Blood spills from our veins
Cast off these binding chains
CH
And if we fail, at least we tried
We can still hold our heads high
We are the strong, we are the just
Here’s hoping Time remembers us
A mighty giant’s fallen
Closing its eyes
Sewing the seeds
For revolution to arise
We may concede the battle
But not the war
We still remember what it is
We’re fighting for
Pulses pound like drums
What have we become?
Blood spills from our veins
Cast off these binding chains
(CH)
