This is my first posting of lyrics here on the HR bbs. I dug up this song I wrote over 12 years ago, so I'm interested to read feedback on it in this day.
By all means, post your most positive and critical feedback...
Rise Up
Open the door, the stranger walks in
You catch his eye, that twinkle of sin
I am the hour and I am the day
I’ve come to take your pain away
I am the leader of feeders unsung
Victory is sweet, a battery on your tongue
Part of us died on the vine today
You took it with you, we didn’t give it away
bridge
Between the here and now, I can’t understand
Why wrong is so right when it’s not in demand
Biding my time without hourglass sand
Oh, oh, oh…
bridge
I climbed this hill just to fall back down
Screamed out my lungs just to hear the sound
My soul is somewhere in the lost and found
Ah, ah, ah, ah…
He was not yet fifty as the boy pulled up a chair
A face of lines and pages, his age filling the air
I will speak to you of things they do not dare
Don’t look around you it’s you who must care
You cannot wait for them to arrange
For you are the one who will make this world change
To prepare for your life you must die once today
Better cut short than wasted away
Serving your vice is the price you will pay
Oh, oh, oh…
I will rise up
By all means, post your most positive and critical feedback...

Chorus
Like a house of cards in a hurricane
You stand for nothing, and fall for anything
Don’t wait for today to make war on tomorrow
24-7 goes down at the top of the hour
I will rise up again and again
I will fly on to heaven and then
Join the fight for good and right
We are survivors on the night
Like a house of cards in a hurricane
You stand for nothing, and fall for anything
Don’t wait for today to make war on tomorrow
24-7 goes down at the top of the hour
I will rise up again and again
I will fly on to heaven and then
Join the fight for good and right
We are survivors on the night

We are survivors on the night
I will rise up
backing (We are the writers of hate and of sin)
I will rise up(We are the lie and we are the spin)
I will rise up(Do not be frightened when we take you in)
I will rise up(Together we’ll conquer again and again)
