Rise up

The streeets are still, hardly a sound
Newspapers drift along the ground
The vermin run where shadows play
Time don’t march on it’s blown away

Here where Angelina died
One more teenage suicide
How they laughed, oh, how they lied
Pounding in my broken heart
I heard

Rise up!
In defiance
Rise up!
If you wanna live

I lie alone here in my bed
A war is raging in my head
Collapsing buildings bury me
And bricks and bottles set me free

Bombs explode and church bells peel
None excape the grinding wheel
Some will stand and some will kneel
Pounding in my broken heart
I heard

Rise up!
