A blind man Asked an angel "Could you please help?" But was told "Take me From this altar And I won't falter But I might fall." This bitter man would understand Through all his life a needle had Been his savior Been his God So he tried to make a change Tried to rearrange Gun at his side Suicide I can't help feel I've been mistreated Won't you listen to me? Despise All that I see All that I feel All that I want to be Burned Blistered and raw Tearing apart All that is sane to me A wise man Half pariah Half messiah Came to seed Rain down Blood like fire Born to sire Racist breed His dominance of ignorance Was rhetoric that made no sense Some believed in all the lies But in my mind I know what's wrong Way too fucking strong Taste the revenge on my tongue I can't help feel I've been mistreated Won't you listen to me? Despise All that I see All that I feel All that I want to be Burned Blistered and raw Tearing apart All that is sane to me And now is my time to rise And now is my time to rise And now is my time to rise And now is my time to rise And now is my time to rise And now is our time to rise Our time To rise Ignorant Indignant Promises Made in vain Ignorant Indignant Promises Made in vain Rise, I can't see like you Rise, I can't feel like you Rise, never be like you Rise, time for all us to Rise Rise Rise Rise
