lyrics

See Me Rise

See me rise from the ashes of a tribe to the masses.
In my eyes see the burden of a prize won through murder.

You turn your back on love
Now love long gone.
Her shadows still remain
You play with them like puppets in the sun.
(Lost within the barrels of your gun)

You love to play her games
Tongue-twisted words
She jump into your flame constrained by chains to kill a mocking bird.
(You're all the same just following the herd)

Rise up, rise up now Babylon be gone
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done.

Come the morning

Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done
Rise up, Rise up now Babylon be gone

Read the warning sign.

See me rise from the water where
Mother Earth lost a daughter
In her eyes I see the burden of a prize won through murder.

What do you want from her?
She not to blame.
A world baptised by fire for her desire to lose this futile game.
(No no she not to blame)

We don't hear her sound
We out of range
Her flame will burn the ground we walk on still your love will never change.

Until we ...

Rise up rise up too strong the masses
Rise up rise up until the kingdom crashes down

Raising Babylon to the ground.

<Dub section 16 bars>

See me rise from the ashes of a tribe to the masses.
In my eyes see the burden of a prize won through murder.

You turn your back on love
Now love long gone.
Her shadows still remain
You play with them like puppets in the sun.
(Lost within the barrels of your gun)

Rise up, rise up now Babylon be gone
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done.

Come the morning

Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done
Rise up, Rise up now Babylon be gone

Read the warning sign.
