Life has been taken for granted too long
The lies and excuses have conquered
A blind man can notice the system is crippled
Dreams are a long lost desire
And now it's just a time bomb waiting to go off
So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we're dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It's time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise, it's a new day
Life has been taken for granted too long
The lies and excuses have conquered
If all that is left is the flesh on our bodies
How can we call ourselves human?
It's just a time bomb waiting to go off
It might be seconds now
The world's a time bomb waiting to go off
So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we're dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It's time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes now
Don't you say your done believing there is hope
The clock is ticking but we're still breathing
It's time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise, it's a new day
It's time to face all of our mistakes, it's time to recreate
It's time to stand up and walk again, screaming, "We're not dead"
So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we're dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It's time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes now
Don't you say your done believing there is hope
The clock is ticking but we're still breathing
It's time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise, it's a new day
Rise, rise, rise till your last breath
