Lyrics

RISE
We're fighting wars we don't remember why we're fighting
Locked into the rhythm of a hatred dance
We're killing children for the fear of what they're learning
Sacrifice a nation to perpetuate a lie
Infecting people to ensure a higher earning
Poorest lands have always been rich man's dumping ground
Rhetoric is blinding when delivered with a messianic shine
For all the innocent whose blood was spilt on the wrong side of the fence
And all the innocent whose blood was spilt in self-defense
I ask you to
Rise all and every people
For those who gave their life for you
Rise all and every people
No matter the reason false or true
They died for you
Enslaving minds to breed the fear of the unknown
Ignorance is power's wings, from what the past has shown
Our inner borders are the hardest ones to cross
So we externalize them, let the others pay the cost
There is no us and them, there only is a we
The day we realize this is the day we'll all be free
Conscience is binding, especially when it's not your ass that's on the line
For all the innocent whose blood was spilt on the wrong side of the fence
And all the innocent whose blood was spilt in self-defense
I ask you to
Rise all and every people
For those who gave their life for you
Rise all and every people
No matter the reason false or true
They died for you
