Arise! (Amebix)

歌詞

Well, we've all heard the sermon Seen the preachers, or worshipped the stage Heard the new manifesto? It's all problems, no solutions at all Well, we're out on our own now Always have been, just look at your friends Break the surface to daylight, strength will flow through our unity There is a traitor in our midst And when we rise, we will be betrayed They are the wolves in sheeps clothing Taking place, at the back of the flock All this talk about freedom, will be tainted with blood (it's your life) Put this cross on your back, child Tread the long weary trail to the top of the hill Arise! Get off your knees Arise! Get off your knees, get off, your knees There's some hard times coming down There is the smell of revolution on the wind Well, we're grinding our axes Telling tales around the bonfire at night And we will set out with a fire in our hearts And when this darkness gives way to the dawn In the light, we united as one The kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm Arise! Get off your knees Arise! Get off your knees, get up, stand up You look at the ranks of the damned No pride, the dragging masses of tortured and twisted humanity You, who sow the rotting seeds of despair amongst our own ranks Pathetic, snivelling little turds Assuming the identity of the down and out Despondent, sheeplike cretins, hopless clowns in a circus which has long since died Arise, you fucking arseholes and rejoyce, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
