lyrics

RISE UP - LOVE AND INSURRECTION (Jeremy Gronow)
Verse 1

Kill the lights, stay away from windows
Strange, strange times, can you hear them singing?
Wash your hands, shut your mouth

Chorus
We can rise up (Though the walls are closing in)
We can build our barricades (High, higher)
We can rise up (Or we can let the facists win)
Have we learnt no history

Verse 2
Stay alive, though the mood today is killing
Why do we waste our time? When the future’s hidden?
I think you love me you’re so cool
And if you don’t, I got myself and that will do

Chorus
We can rise up (Though the walls are closing in)
We can build our barricades (High, higher)
We can rise up (Or we can let the facists win)
Have we learnt no history

Bridge
Rise Up…. Rise Up…. Rise Up….

Verse 3
Cool change tonight. The winds are shifting
It will be alright, maybe, it already is
Rivers of honey, milk and wine, Oil the waters, call the time

Chorus
We can rise up (Though the walls are closing in)
We can build our barricades (High, higher)
We can rise up (Or we can let the facists win)
Have we learnt no history

Bridge
Rise Up…. Rise Up…. Rise Up….
