Song Lyrics

"Rise"

by Skillet
Album: Rise (Deluxe Edition)

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've made

Every day you need a bullet proof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess
Am I safe today when I step outside in the wars we wage

Our futures 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 futures 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 its crazy (crazy)
To fight for what you believe
But you can't give up (No)
If you wanna 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
Rise in Revolution
Rise, Rise
Rise in revolution

(Interlude 3:43)
"911."
"There's a guy here with a gun!"
"Ma'am, ma'am'"
"Kids, get under the table! Kids! Get under the table!"
"We're getting in reports from all around the globe, showing the highest unemployment rates since the end of WWII."
"Many are losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases, their hope."
"Unit 6343 dispatch, possible 10-16 domestic disturbance in progress at fox hill circle north"
"Repeat that 10-20 to me"
"You're such a failure... what's wrong with you' You're worthless! You can't do anything right!
I wish you had never been born."
