9teen6teen

It's been a thousand years
And it's so hard to tell
More than a million tears
Though I should know it well
Will anybody tell me when it did start
But in fact it don't mind as it's been goddamn hard

They came across the sea
With a plan in their heads
And at its open end
We would surely be dead
Tried to take away our pride and annex our land
But they never realised how we'd make our stand

And now we'll rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
We're gonna rise
And we will make the whole world see
We're gonna rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
Cause we're sick of all the tyranny and greed

They took all we had
Much more than we could bear
It won't happen again
This to you all I swear
No more raping our wives
Mutilating our kids
By now the only tongue they speak is the row of our fists

So many battles won
So many children lost
Can't you feel a shudder in your heart
Rehearsing this cost
So don't you tell me nothing bout no two in the bush
Cause it can't get any worse
Come out and make a rush

Just come and rise
Come on and rise with me at Easter
We're gonna rise
Rise and make the whole world see
We're gonna rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
Cause we're sick of all the tyranny and greed

We tried the peaceful way
It only led them astray
Out to the wilderness
That reappears every day
What was believable once is unbelievable now
So now I give a fuck for anything they say

We'll chop the bloody hands
That tried to kill our will
And use them in return
To show we're living still
So now come on and chant with me the song that we all know
Cause by the time the sun will rise it will be time to go
Time to time to

Rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
We're gonna rise
Rise and make the whole world see
Come out and rise rise
Come on and rise with me at Easter
Cause we're sick of all the tyranny

And rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
We'll tear them down
And we will make the whole world see
We're gonna rise
We're gonna rise at Easter
Cause we're sick of all the tyranny
Sick of all the tyranny
SIck of all the tyranny and greed
