Flogging Molly - Rise Up lyrics

God you say is always the answer But what is the answer for our cruelty We punish a life 'til it's life ever after Ever after the place that we all end up being O' such is a morn' as this to awaken Forgotten the hour that was yesterday With a standing blow to the head of frustration Divide and we fall have you nothing to say? [Chorus] So let us rise up Stand and be counted, stand and be counted On that let's agree Rise up Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility Many's the word that's been broken true anger Lips that are sealed as the hour slips away Belief is a joke to this lost generation Building the walls as the mind segregates But when all is said The voice that is silent can't be heard [Chorus] For we, we shall overcome... someday So we bring the head of the ol' palace tribe For there is the rapture that bleeds out a life Hand over fist from their pulpit they spew Liars they'll crumble not knowing the truth But when all is said The voice that is silent can't be heard [Chorus] So let us rise up Stand and be counted, stand and be counted On that let's agree Let us rise up Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility Rise up Stand and be counted, stand and be counted On that let's agree Let us rise up Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of all human greed For we, we shall overcome...
