Lirik Rise
All I see is, shattered pieces
I can’t keep it, hidden like a secret
I can’t look away
From all this pain, in the world we’ve made
Every day you need, a bulletproof vest
To save yourself, from what you could never guess
Am I safe today?
When I step outside, in the wars we wage
Our future’s here and now
Here comes the countdown
Sound it off, this is our call
Rise and Revolution
It’s our time to change it all
Rise and Revolution
Unite, and Fight
To make a better life
Everybody, one for all
Sound off, this is the call
Tonight, We Rise, Rise
Tonight, We Rise, Rise
Tonight, We Rise
Like a hand grenade, thrown in a hurricane
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame
Yesterday is gone
Faster than the blast of a car bomb
And when the scars heal, the pain passes
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes
Darkness fades away
And the light shines on a brave new day
Our future’s here and now
Here comes the countdown
Sound it off, this is our call
Rise and Revolution
It’s our time to change it all
Rise and Revolution
Unite, and Fight
To make a better life
Everybody, one for all
Sound off, this is the call
Tonight, we Rise, Rise
Tonight, we Rise, Rise
Tonight, we Rise
In a world gone mad (in a voice so sad)
Sometimes it’s crazy (crazy)
To fight for what you believe
But you can’t give up (no)
If you want to keep what you love (keep what you love)
Keep what you love (keep what you love)
Keep what you love
Never give up, no
Rise. rise and revolution
Rise. rise and revolution
Everybody one for all
Sound off, this is the call
Rise, like we’re alive
Tonight, we rise!
Rise! Make a better life
Tonight, we rise! Rise
Rise, rise and revolution
Rise, rise
Rise and revolution
Rise
