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
 [bad word] ]
i can't help feel i been mistreated
won't you listen to me
 [bad word] ]
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 periah, half messiah
came to seed
rain down blood like fire
born desire
racist breed

his dominance of ignorance
was rhetoric that made no sence
some believed in all the lies
but in my mind i know what's wrong
way too [bad word] strong
taste the revenge on my tongue

Sometimes I wish I had died
Thought I Was Better Off Dead
Seen Two Men Get Stabbed
Had Four Guns To My Head 
I Ain't Trying To Brag 
I'm Just Telling You Story 
Just Look Into These Eyes 
As They Fail To See Your Glory

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 feel like you
rise, i can't see like you
rise, never be like you
rise, time for all us to
rise...
