[00:00.151]
[00:01.173] Beyond the ocean
[00:06.270] A lighthouse is waiting for me
[00:11.339] The Great Chain in motion
[00:16.739] Beneath the waves of the sea
[00:20.660] Into the city
[00:23.239] All good things flow
[00:25.434] The sweat on your brow
[00:27.882] Is what you reap and sow
[00:30.517] Forge your own fortune
[00:32.978] From salt and from sand
[00:35.714] No gods or kings
[00:39.788] Only man
[00:41.871]
[00:42.012] Folks told me, son, you won the gene pool
[00:43.965] So I guess I had a head start on these fools
[00:46.543] Doesn't take a Winter Blast for Jack to keep cool
[00:49.087] But isolation in the deep blue can be cruel
[00:51.668] I descend the depths fathom by fathom
[00:53.826] As if the ocean opened up and I've been cast in a chasm
[00:56.352] Upon a sweeping seascape, genetic accidents happened
[00:58.855] But don't blame EVE, the cause of the fall had to be ADAM
[01:01.676] If you believe the sweat of your brow oughtta be yours
[01:04.017] Listen to Andrew Ryan, the philosophical entrepreneur
[01:06.741] He might've put me on blast, but I'll get past his thugs
[01:09.457] I asked who Fontaine was, and Atlas Shrugged
[01:12.278] Welcome to Rapture, where you can manufacture
[01:14.445] Evolution: natural selection's happening faster
[01:17.070] Were you shocked when I said I was nothing less than electric
[01:19.689] This city's dead but I bet that I can resurrect it
[01:22.563] An engine never rests in Hephaestus
[01:24.806] Like a Lazarus Vector, giving breath to the breathless
[01:27.418] (Gasp)
[01:28.127] I'm getting quite dependent on medkits
[01:30.083] I just met a demented doctor obsessed with perfection
[01:32.405] You promised me pretty, Steinman, why did I get this?
[01:35.306] I treated your ugliness like an infection!
[01:37.907] That's why I took a wrench when I went to the dentist
[01:40.399] And my smile was dazzlin' after bashin' his head in
[01:43.025] Collectin' weapons, makin' effective inventions
[01:45.418] I'll make you vanish like Houdini
[01:46.825] When I pump lead in you Leadheads
[01:48.076] I call it artwork, want it censored? Forget it
[01:50.413] I got a killer's disposition, I guess it's genetic
[01:53.525] Death is a choice that I rejected!
[01:55.770]
[01:56.200] Rise, Rapture, rise
[02:00.962] We turn our hopes up to the skies
[02:06.418] Rise, Rapture, rise
[02:10.857] We'll go down with our sinking paradise
[02:15.821]
[02:16.527] Roll up my sleeves, so blood will not get on'em
[02:19.403] These shackles remind me I started from the bottom
[02:21.900] Hello little fish, have you had your cherry popped?
[02:24.529] I'm a grown man, damnit, I ain't scared of shots
[02:26.652] Shots shots shots shots now my veins are on fire
[02:29.369] Rearrangin' DNA? Sounds like playing with fire
[02:32.192] Sciences are practiced with a lack of moral guidance
[02:34.725] Splicers seek to satisfy their sick sadistic vices
[02:37.248] Victims become villains, angry vandals turn to violence
[02:39.878] Sickly children sticking by their less than gentle giants
[02:42.477] Minds manipulated by the parasite inside'em
[02:44.926] But if you're a parasite in Ryan's eyes, you're put to silence
[02:47.685] The great and strong will not yield to the weak and feeble
[02:50.193] Better change your DNA if you'd like to fight as equals
[02:52.750] Harvest ADAM, feed on EVE, it doesn't make me evil
[02:55.039] Because my survival rides on getting Power to the People
[02:57.680]
[02:57.967] Dozens of desperate denizens deal with deprivation
[03:00.476] But let's be fair, laissez-faire, forget the regulations
[03:03.059] This economy's perfectly working without you
[03:05.405] Now let me fill my craving at the Circus of Values
[03:08.228] Drawn to this city, like a moth to a flame
[03:10.507] Fallin' from grace, swallowed by a watery grave
[03:13.194] Now I'll frolic on this stage, I'm a part in a play
[03:15.624] Like I was nothing but a puppet, just a pawn in the game
[03:18.610] Lookin' for something to set me apart from a slave
[03:20.834]
[03:21.051] Rise, Rapture, rise
[03:26.024] We turn our hopes up to the skies
[03:31.456] Rise, Rapture, rise
[03:35.921] We'll go down with our sinking paradise
[03:41.247]
[03:41.690] RISE
[03:42.482]
[03:43.204] Rapture is bleeding through cracks that are leaking
[03:48.244] Dwindling memories tell secrets they're keeping
[03:53.411] Demons disguised by benign masquerades
[03:58.494] Angels climb out of their graves
[04:01.723]
[04:02.330] Mind over matter is the practice I'm preachin'
[04:04.835] How else could I achieve feats of telekinesis
[04:07.437] And I'm an expert at hacking past your defense
[04:09.683] Then I'll attack you like a swarm from a hornet nest
[04:12.093] (Buzz off!)
[04:12.862] The Gatherer's Garden ain't runnin' short of guests
[04:14.902] I've been cleaning'em out, I can afford the best
[04:17.386] Hey!
[04:17.842] Do you wish your waist was slimmer?
[04:19.139] (Yes!)
[04:19.374] Or your chin was chiseled more?
[04:20.376] (Huh?)
[04:20.580] Careful, vanity could send us into civil war
[04:23.161] In a utopia, who's gonna wanna scrub the toilets?
[04:25.480] The people in Apollo Square got no other choices
[04:28.139] I know how this is gonna end, but I don't wanna spoil it
[04:30.732] You try to seize my city? Time that I destroy it!
[04:33.565] Just relax, Big Daddy, I command ya
[04:36.002] Strike a pose, smile for the camera
[04:38.586] I think objectively, just like Ayn Rand does
[04:41.204] Attention: will the real Fontaine stand up?
[04:43.861] A man chooses, unlike a slave
[04:46.238] Who never strays from the path that his master paves
[04:48.847] Follows every order and does everything they say
[04:51.407] Now Would You Kindly... OBEY?
[04:53.985] OBEY (x8)
[05:04.144]
[05:04.327] Rise, Rapture, rise
[05:08.879] We turn our hopes up to the skies
[05:14.765] Rise, Rapture, rise
[05:19.199] We'll go down with our sinking paradise
[05:24.465]
[05:25.753] My city is thriving
[05:30.738] Your allies- choose them wisely
[05:35.855] Our Rapture is rising
[05:40.837] Stand with us, Would You Kindly?
[05:45.770] RISE
[05:46.294]
