Rise lyrics

All I see is shattered pieces

I can't keep it hidden like a secret

(I can't look away!)

From all this pain in a world we made!

Everyday you need a bulletproof vest

To save yourself from what you could never guess!

(Am I safe today?)

When I step outside in the wars we wage!

Our future's here and now,

Here comes the countdown!

Sound it off, this is the call!

Rise in revolution!

It's our time to change it all,

Rise in revolution!

Unite and fight, to make a better life!

Everybody one for all,

Sound off, this is the call:

Tonight we rise!

Rise!

Tonight we rise!

Rise!

Tonight we rise!

Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane,

Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame,

(Yesterday is gone!)

Faster than the blast of a car bomb!

And when the scars heal, the pain passes,

As hope burns, we rise from the ashes!

(Darkness fades away!)

And the light shines on a brave new day!

Our future's here and now,

Here comes the countdown!

Sound it off, this is the call!

Rise in revolution!

It's our time to change it all,

Rise in revolution!

Unite and fight to make a better life!

Everybody one for all,

Sound off, this is the call:

Tonight we rise!

Rise!

Tonight we rise!

Rise!

Tonight we rise!

In a world gone mad,

(In a world so sad!)

Sometimes it's crazy (Crazy!)

To fight for what you believe!

But you can't give up,

If you wanna keep what you love!

(Keep what you love)

Keep what you love

(Keep what you love)

Keep what you love

Never give up, no!!!

Rise!

(Rise in revolution!)

Rise!

(Rise in revolution!)

Everybody one for all,

Sound off, this is the call!

Rise!

Like we're alive

Tonight we rise

Rise!

Make a better life

Tonight we rise!

Rise, rise, rise in revolution

Rise, rise, rise in revolution

Rise!

"9-1-1"

"There's a guy here with a gun!"

"Ma'am? Ma'am?"

"Kids, get under the table! Get under the table!"

"We are getting in reports, from all around the globe

Showing the highest unemployment rates

Since the end of World War Two.

Many are losing their jobs, their homes

And in many cases - their hope."

"You are such a failure!

What's wrong with you?

You're worthless!

You can't do anything right!

I wish you had never been born!"
