Amebix - Arise Lyrics
Well we've all heard the sermon seen The preachers or worshipped the stage Heard the new manifesto? It's all questions no solutions at all Well, you're out on your own now, always have been Just look at your friends Break the surface to daylight Strength will flow through our unity. There is a traitor in our midst And when we rise we will be betrayed They are the wolves in sheep's clothing Take the place at the back of the fold All this talk about freedom Will be tainted with blood (it's your life) Put this cross on your back child Tread the long weary trail to the top of the hill ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES! There's some hard times coming down There's the smell of revolution on the wind Well, we're grinding down our axes Telling tales round the bonfire at night We will set out with a fire in our hearts When this darkness gives way to the dawn In the light we're united as one For the kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm! ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES! STAND UP!
