Rise Up! Rise Up!
Lyricist:Timothy James Kasher, Matthew Ryan Maginn, Clinton Frederick Schnase, Theodore Stevens
Dear preacher, thanks for making time for me today Hope you don't mind if I hide behind the curtain It's been fifteen years since my last confession By your good book's standards, I've sinned like a champion But that book seems a tad bit outdated
Please forgive me for questioning divinity It's an ugly job, but I think I'm up for it, I'm not saying who's right I'm just saying there's more than one way To skin a religion, there's more than one way To explain our existence
Reverend sir, I don't want to seem malevolent My teenage angst is far behind me But father, certainly it's troubling to see All these people kneeling instead of dealing With the fact that we are all we have
So, rise up, rise up Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com There's no one to worship but plenty of life to lose I'm not saying 'Let's burn down the church But do you want to hear my confession?' It's my greatest sin
Okay, here it is I wasted half my life on the thought that I'd live forever I wasn't raised to seize the day, but to work and worship 'Cause, 'He that liveth and believeth, supposedly never dies'
Rise up, rise up Live a full life 'Cause when it's over, it's done So rise up, rise up Dance and scream and love
You're not the chosen one And I'm not the chosen one
