Arise! (Amebix cover)

Well, we've all heard the sermon

Seen the preachers or worshipped the stage

Heard the new manifesto? It's all questions, no solutions at all

Well, you're out on your own now

Always have been, just look at your "friends"

Break the surface to daylight

Strength will flow through our unity

There is a traitor in our midst

And when we rise we will be betrayed

They are the wolves in sheeps clothing

Taking place at the back of the flock

All this talk about freedom, will be tainted with blood (it's your life)

Put this cross on your back, child

Tread the long weary trail to the top of the hill

Arise!

Get off your knees

Arise!

Get off your knees, get off, your knees

There's some hard times coming down

There is the smell of revolution on the wind

Well, we're grinding our axes

Telling tales around the bonfire at night

We will set out with a fire in our hearts

When this darkness gives way to the dawn

In the light we united as one

For the kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm

Arise!

Get off your knees

Arise!

Get off your knees, get up, stand up
