THE RISE OF THE ANIMAL
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I just came out from the room.
I saw the rising of the moon.
This ain't no ordinary night.
Looked to my left, looked to my right.
I felt the chill down to my bones.
I must have dreamed this once before.
Glanced at the pictures on the walls.
I saw my reflections in the glass.
And as I walked down the hall
I said to myself, "It's got to be"
The rise of the animal.
C'mon, get it up.
The rise of the animal.
In the streets, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal.
It's just got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
In me.
I thought I heard the crowd scream.
As I recalled a childhood dream.
I saw myself as I stand.
Caught with the axe in my hand.
Then I was pushed out on the stage.
And the crowd became a state of rage.
I tripped, I fell down to one knee.
I said to myself, "It's got to be"
The rise of the animal.
C'mon, get it up.
The rise of the animal.
In the streets, uh!
The rise of the animal.
It's just got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
In me.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
It's got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
in me.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
