about

The Rise is a song by Chicago Typewriter, a three-piece rock band from Northern Ireland.

lyrics

We’re all drowning in your past,
When your beliefs come first and our opinions last.
Men of god or spawns of hell?
How can we tell?

Represent us through colours, group us under names
Maintain divide to continue your reign.
When guns were pointed in the war of your time
Did you pull the trigger or did your children die?

You defeat peace, Suspend us in time,
Limit progress, Manipulate the minds,
Weaponize faith, Bury all your crimes,
So here comes the rise.

You have the power to be the change
Instead add prejudiced fuel to the public's flames.
You are the answer and the threat.
One we haven’t seen yet.

Capitalize on fear by pulling strings of war.
Nobody wins this game when it’s a death-toll score.
Grow a conscience, end the pain inside
Cause when we bring back peace, you’ll get left behind.

You defeat peace, Suspend us in time,
Limit progress, Manipulate the minds,
Weaponize faith, Bury all your crimes,
So here comes the rise.

You defeat peace, Suspend us in time,
Limit progress, Manipulate the minds,
Weaponize faith, Bury all your crimes,
So here comes the rise.
