(Rise) For This

Here they go, running us around
guns in hands, patrolling this here ground
where will we ever be.
Blast from the past, sucking from this life
we're going so fast, taking all last breaths
where will we ever be.

Once you see through these eyes
and once you been through these lives
you will see that

we will rise for this, we will die for this
we will rise to live, we will die to give
we wont lie for this, no we will
rise for this, rise for this, rise for this

Panic in the streets, fear in their eyes
dragging on gravel, watching on all sides
Where will we ever be.
reaching out loud, through these chains
dissapering in waves, all hope dies
Where will we ever be.

Once you feel through these hearts
and once you breath through these times
you will see that

we will rise for this, we will die for this
we will rise to live, we will die to give
we wont lie for this, no we will
rise for this, rise for this, rise for this

Once you see through these eyes
and once you been through these lives
you will see that

we will rise for this, we will die for this
we will rise to live, we will die to give
we wont lie for this, no we will

rise for this, we will die for this
we will rise to live, we will die to give
we wont lie for this, no we will
rise for this, rise for this,(fades) rise for this

I really like the lyrics and although there is only 2 verses that are different I still love your lyrics with all the repeated stanzas. I can hear it being sung and becomming very popular ;D

Great lyrics, I agree it's very catchy. I love the meaning of the song, really inspiring. usually when I read songs or poems I would post my favorite parts, but I really loved the whole thing. The chorus i guess is my favorite part. Amazing job.

Welcome to YWS qwertyblg! :smt006
We like to keep a 2:1 ratio on reviews to stories here and usually I'm kind of a big stickler on that but I'm making an exception this week. Just pinky promise you'll make some more reviews :D


Wow. LOVED these lyrics! Great subject matter, great descriptions, catchy chorus, no tired rhyming, good rhythm, I really have nothing bad to say.
I could hear the song as I read it, it was awesome, nice job! :D
I'm giving you a gold star!

Cool lyrics, very catchy
I like it, its interesting, though some bits are a bit iffy
The lines repeated ' rise for this' 3 times at the end maybe cut one off because it just gets annoying after a while
but otherwise loved it



Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting.
