A blind man
Asked an angel
"Could you please help?"
But was told
"Take me
From this altar
And I won't falter
But I might fall."

This bitter man would understand
Through all his life a needle had
Been his savior
Been his God
So he tried to make a change
Tried to rearrange
Gun at his side
Suicide

I can't help feel I've been mistreated
Won't you listen to me?

Despise
All that I see
All that I feel
All that I want to be
Burned
Blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me

A wise man
Half pariah
Half messiah
Came to seed
Rain down
Blood like fire
Born to sire
Racist breed

His dominance of ignorance
Was rhetoric that made no sense
Some believed in all the lies
But in my mind I know what's wrong
Way too fucking strong
Taste the revenge on my tongue

I can't help feel I've been mistreated
Won't you listen to me?

Despise
All that I see
All that I feel
All that I want to be
Burned
Blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me


And now is my time to rise
And now is my time to rise
And now is my time to rise
And now is my time to rise
And now is my time to rise
And now is our time to rise
Our time
To rise

Ignorant
Indignant
Promises
Made in vain
Ignorant
Indignant
Promises
Made in vain

Rise, I can't see like you
Rise, I can't feel like you
Rise, never be like you
Rise, time for all us to
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
