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 the world we made
Everyday you need a bulletproof vest
Just save yourself from what you could never guess
(Am I safe today)
When I step outside in the wars we wage
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e109099-skillet~rise_lyrics.html ]
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 comet
And when the scars heal, the pain passes
The smoke burns, we rise from the ashes
(Darkness fades away)
And the light shines on a brand 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 place so sad)
Sometimes it's crazy
Crazy to fight for what you believe
But you can't give up
(Nooo)
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 now

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

[News reporter]
We are getting reports from all around the globe, showing the highest unemployment rates since the end of World War II. Many are losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases, their hope.

[Upset parent]
You are such a failure! What is wrong with you? You can't do anything right! I wish you had never been born!
