Works Progress Administration - Rise Up lyrics

You seek an end to the questions A ladder to the sky A children's dream where we never die There is a fog in the canyon A vapor in the keep Lulling us gently into sleep And we will not wake ever Unless we rise up early Rise up early They cast your brother as a demon Your lover as a who*e All manner of lies justify our wars They sell the water in the well now The stars in the sky There's nothing so sacred that we won't buy And it will not change ever Unless we rise up early Rise up early Rise up, rise up There is a silence in the bedroom A rustle in the hall In the shadow of a love that became a wall And it will not fall ever
