Rise Lyrics


Steve Walsh Rise

[Intro]
I'm not certain they really know me
And so I'll put it all away
I'm not certain they're really sleeping
And so I'll put it all away
Alarms are ringing but they don't hear them
And so I'll throw it all away
The angels singing and they don't fear them
And so I'll blow it all away

[Verse 1]
It's all so clear when I'm alone, oh yeah
I'm standing here, everything else is gone
Red flags are waving from the top of a tanglewood tree
I am a swallow but the awesome griffin is being born in me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pretty soon it's gonna be my time
Pretty soon it's gonna be my time
Pretty soon it's gonna be my time
Really, really gonna do it this time

[Chorus 1]
Rise, I rise–lead the legions, holding sway
Rise, I rise–smoking gunner, scattered prey
Rise, I rise–throwin' a tantrum, judgement day
All I got is fear and lies and this facade and so I rise

[Verse 2]
What are heroes–their heroes, living lies for all to see
Shadows swimming in poison water, I could swear that they look just like me
Voyeur MTV, and it dawns on me, it's everything I'll never be
But here's a little breakin' news–my life's a lie and I got the blues

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Until I throw it all away
Until I blow it all away
Until I put it all away

[Chorus 2]
And so I rise, I rise–reelin' motor, I declare
Rise, I rise–rockets cut the air
Rise, I rise–sirens screamin', I don't care
All I got is fear and lies and this facade and so I rise
Rise
