Arise! Lyrics
The preachers or worshipped the stageHeard the new manifesto? It’s all questions no solutions at allWell, you’re out on your own now, always have beenJust look at your friendsBreak the surface to daylightStrength will flow through our unity.There is a traitor in our midstAnd when we rise we will be betrayedThey are the wolves in sheep’s clothingTake the place at the back of the foldAll this talk about freedomWill be tainted with blood (it’s your life)Put this cross on your back childTread the long weary trail to the top of the hillARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES!There’s some hard times coming downThere’s the smell of revolution on the windWell, we’re grinding down our axesTelling tales round the bonfire at nightWe will set out with a fire in our heartsWhen this darkness gives way to the dawnIn the light we’re united as oneFor the kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm!ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES!STAND UP!
Amebix Arise!
