Flogging Molly - Rise Up Lyrics
God you say is always the answerBut what is the answer for our crueltyWe punish a life 'til it's life ever afterEver after the place that we all end up beingO' such is a morn' as this to awakenForgotten the hour that was yesterdayWith a standing blow to the head of frustrationDivide and we fall have you nothing to say?[Chorus]So let us rise upStand and be counted, stand and be countedOn that let's agreeRise upDig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futilityMany's the word that's been broken true angerLips that are sealed as the hour slips awayBelief is a joke to this lost generationBuilding the walls as the mind segregatesBut when all is saidThe voice that is silent can't be heard[Chorus]For we, we shall overcome... somedaySo we bring the head of the ol' palace tribeFor there is the rapture that bleeds out a lifeHand over fist from their pulpit they spewLiars they'll crumble not knowing the truthBut when all is saidThe voice that is silent can't be heard[Chorus]So let us rise upStand and be counted, stand and be countedOn that let's agreeLet us rise upDig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futilityRise upStand and be counted, stand and be countedOn that let's agreeLet us rise upDig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of all human greedFor we, we shall overcome...
