• Rise to Power

I counted to one hundred, I kept losin’ track

I wrote a hundred letters, no one wrote back

I told a hundred stories but all of them got twisted

I sang a hundred songs but nobody listened



You’ve got to rise to power

Rise to power

Baby, you’ve got to rise to power

You’ve got to 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

You’ve got to 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

You’ve got to 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
