Rise

AVARICE CREED ENFORCES
HOARDING THIS WORLD’S RESOURCES
WHEN THE SYCOPHANT’S GOD IS GREED
SOME SLAVES DECLINE TO BE FREED
 
MASTERS OF VULGAR DISPLAYS
SHUN THOSE DECRYING THEIR WAYS
FEED NOT THEIR EASE TO IGNORE YOU
LEST GROVELING FOOLS SPEAK FOR YOU

RISE
RESTLESS CHOIR
FROM THE FIELDS OF RUST AND FIRE
TO REGIMES WHO’VE LOST CONTROL
CONSOLE

RISE
FOR THE RAVENOUS AGE IS THROUGH
RAISE HELL WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU
AND FEAST IN HALLS DENIED 
UNTIL ARROGANT BLOOD HAS DRIED
AND RAPTURE FLOODS THE SKIES

LABOURS OF HARVEST HAULS BRING
TRIBUTES OF SERVANT TO FALSE KING
MORE EMPTY PROMISES TOWARD YOU
THESE LORDS WILL SURELY REWARD YOU

DISSENSION LEFT UNSPOKEN
WATCHING WITH GAZE UNBROKEN 
THIS TRAGIC VEER INTO VIOLENCE
COMPLICIT WITH YOUR SILENCE

RISE
RESTLESS CHOIR
FROM THE FIELDS OF RUST AND FIRE
TO REGIMES WHO’VE LOST CONTROL
CONSOLE

RISE
FOR THE RAVENOUS AGE IS THROUGH
RAISE HELL WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU
AND FEAST IN HALLS DENIED 
UNTIL ARROGANT BLOOD HAS DRIED
AND RAPTURE FLOODS THE SKIES
