Rise Up Lyrics - Speed Of Darkness - Flogging Molly

God you say is always the answer 

But what is the answer for our cruelty 

We punish a life 'til it's life ever after 

Ever after the place that we all end up being 

O' such is a morn' as this to awaken 

Forgotten the hour that was yesterday 

With a standing blow to the head of frustration 

Divided we fall have you nothing to say? 

So let us rise up 

Stand and be counted, stand and be counted 

On that let's agree 

Rise up 

Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility 

Many's the word that's been broken true anger 

Lips that are sealed as the hour slips away 

Belief is a joke to this lost generation 

Building the walls as the mind segregates 

But when all is said 

The voice that is silent can't be heard 

So let us rise up 

Stand and be counted, stand and be counted 

On that let's agree 

Rise up 

Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility 

For we, we shall overcome, someday 

So we bring the head of the ol' palace tribe 

For there is the rapture that bleeds out a life 

Hand over fist from their pulpit they spew 

Liars they'll crumble not knowing the truth 

But when all is said 

The voice that is silent can't be heard 

So let us rise up 

Stand and be counted, stand and be counted 

On that let's agree 

Let us rise up 

Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility 

Rise up 

Stand and be counted, stand and be counted 

On that let's agree 

Let us rise up 

Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of all human greed 

For we, we shall overcome 

Rise up 

Rise up 

Rise up 

Stand and be counted, stand and be counted 

On that let's agree 

Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility
