A blind man asked an angel

Could you please help

But was told

Take me from this altar

I won't falter

But I might fall



This bitter man would understand

Through all his life,

A needle had

Been his saviour,

Been his god

So he tried to make a change

Tried to rearrange

Gun at his side,

Suicide



I can't help feel I been mistreated

Won't you listen to me



[chorus]

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 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 our time to rise        

Our time to rise



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.
