Uprising by Fall of an Empire Lyrics
As you believe you know
What fool mercy were we shown
And you dare to make a stand
And point at me with crimson hands
On a quiet cobbled street
That was slightly out of reach
Tears can’t wash away the blood
A poor attempt to keep it clean
I’ve known it all along
I could feel it in my bones
A slow and subtle building
A long fuse that’s end is nearing
The devils grinning wide
Too arrogant to run and hide
I can feel it in my bones
This is where we come home
I seethe
With rage and hate at all that you believe
Believe
With all at stake we can’t afford defeat
Where was hope when we were suffering so dearly?
You are a plague
Now our eyes are seeing clearly?
Selling new hope or fraud – pretender
Slight of hand - slavery vender
We line up 50,000 strong or stronger
A silent death day growing ever longer
Both sides are rolling eyes
The puppetmasters spew thier lies
Against the press of marching ides
Rise!
Rise!
Rise!
What fool mercy were we shown
And you dare to make a stand
And point at me with crimson hands
On a quiet cobbled street
That was slightly out of reach
Tears can’t wash away the blood
A poor attempt to keep it clean
I’ve known it all along
I could feel it in my bones
A slow and subtle building
A long fuse that’s end is nearing
The devils grinning wide
Too arrogant to run and hide
I can feel it in my bones
This is where we come home
I seethe
With rage and hate at all that you believe
Believe
With all at stake we can’t afford defeat
Where was hope when we were suffering so dearly?
You are a plague
Now our eyes are seeing clearly?
Selling new hope or fraud – pretender
Slight of hand - slavery vender
We line up 50,000 strong or stronger
A silent death day growing ever longer
Both sides are rolling eyes
The puppetmasters spew thier lies
Against the press of marching ides
Rise!
Rise!
Rise!
