Lyrics to On The Rise : Any dolt with half a brain Can see that humankind has gone insane To the point where I don’t know if I’ll upset the status quo If I throw poison in the watermain.
Listen close to everybody’s heart And hear that breaking sound Hopes and dreams are shattering apart And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes How the world’s filled with filth and lies but it’s plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise.
Look around We’re living with the lost and found Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned You find yourself on solid ground
And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart Keep it safe and sound With hope you can do your part To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes Is the world finally growing wise Because it seems to me some kind of harmony Is on the rise
H: Anyone with half a brain P: Take it slow
H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain P: He looks at me and seems to know
H: Because the dark is everywhere and P: The things that I’m afraid to show
H: Penny doesn’t seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain P: and suddenly I feel this glow
H: Listen close to everybody’s heart P: And I believe there’s good in everybody’s heart
H: and hear that breaking sound P: keep it safe and sound
H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart P: With hope you can do your part
H: And crashing to the ground P: To turn a life around
H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s filled with filth and lies P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s finally growing wise
H: But it’s plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise P: And it’s plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise
