Rise - Surveillance

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
