When They Rise

The victory will be a landslide
It's been rigged since the dawn of time
all controlled to be socially morbid
invisible only from the outside
how's it feel make you act surprised
now you're here can you tell me why
when they take to the streets
and the fires are high in the sky
that's the point when you realise
it was lies
when they rise
when the lies are kicking you down
until you're reaching for the ground
when you scream and you hear no sound
when society started long ago
where did all the honoured go?
ever wondered if your world was bought and sold?
when the passage of time isn't right in your mind
it's a lie
when it should be on a loop that you can rewind
when they rise
when we rise
when the lies are kicking you down
until you're reaching for the ground
when you scream and you hear no sound
when society started long ago
where did all the honoured go
ever wondered if your world was bought and sold
but you will never change their minds
like a clock never tells time
you fall with your own decline
I defy you to walk alone
shouting what you stand for
but that'll be a long wait
do you even know the day
today
