Lyrics
Rise To Power
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 counted to one hundred
I kept losin' track
I wrote one hundred letters
No one wrote back
I told one hundred stories
But all of them got twisted
I sang one hundred songs
But nobody listened
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
Ain't a shade of difference
'tween the heroes and the cowards
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Forced confessions
And coming attractions
Delusions of grandeur
Split into factions
A silent dark camelot
A kingdom grey and bland
A dull empty heaven
A strong leader's hand
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
You're down on your knees
Pullin' up the flowers
Baby, you've got to rise to power
No holy water
Can wash me clean
No angel of mercy
To hear my screams
Into your embrace
I'm ever driven
And in your arms
Unforgiven
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
The whole world's watchin'
There's a gunman in the tower
Baby, you've got to rise to power
