Rise Lyrics

New World Nightmare
This is not the dream that you had once believed
They have forced their hand and taken everything
For what is a dream, but a fictitious reality?
A global nightmare fraying at the seams
We spend our lives living off the benefits of their crimes and lies
Permanent sleep blinds our eyes, and leaves our people paralyzed
Your eyes are open, but you’re not awake

We lie unbroken in their wake
We stand for truth, The American Dream
They destroy truth, that’s The American Way

We stand for everything that you want to believe
Perpetual darkness and suffering you can’t conceive
Sickened by the thought of reality, in this nightmare you’ll find your mortality
We do not fear you, we are not afraid
We’d rather die fighting you than living as your slave
Rise!
We do not fear you, we are not afraid
The future’s controlled by you, not lying in our grave

Rise!
From this nightmare, we must awaken
Take back our lives that they have taken
Rise!
We must awaken
Take back our lives that they have taken
Rise!
We must awaken
Take back our lives that they have taken
Can you sleep at night?
Do you pray in fear by your bedside?
No longer will we crumble under your weight; it’s time to pay for your mistakes
Can you sleep at night?
Do you pray in fear by your bedside?
No longer will we crumble under your weight; it’s time to pay for your mistakes
We have set ourselves free
We will create our own dream
We have set ourselves free
We will create a living dream
