Rise Up Songtext
You seek an end to the questions
A ladder to the sky
A children's dream where we never die
There is a fog in the canyon
A vapor in the keep
Lulling us gently into sleep
And we will not wake ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early
They cast your brother as a demon
Your lover as a whore
All manner of lies justify our wars
They sell the water in the well now
The stars in the sky
There's nothing so sacred that we won't buy
And it will not change ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early
Rise up, rise up
There is a silence in the bedroom
A rustle in the hall
In the shadow of a love that became a wall
And it will not fall ever
A ladder to the sky
A children's dream where we never die
There is a fog in the canyon
A vapor in the keep
Lulling us gently into sleep
And we will not wake ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early
They cast your brother as a demon
Your lover as a whore
All manner of lies justify our wars
They sell the water in the well now
The stars in the sky
There's nothing so sacred that we won't buy
And it will not change ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early
Rise up, rise up
There is a silence in the bedroom
A rustle in the hall
In the shadow of a love that became a wall
And it will not fall ever
