Revolution Rising

You see the future, remember the past,
It’s not the first time, won’t be the last
The dividing line is so obscure and it’s fading fast

History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways,
From the beginning of time until the end of days

Sometimes the masses need to take control,
Shift the balance back the other way

There’s a revolution, revolution rising
There’s a revolution, revolution rising

Bow down in reverence, bow down in fear,
They don’t care as long as you adhere
Feigning compassion with teary eyes, they look so sincere

Lining all their pockets with proceeds from favors sold
Placating the people so they’re easily controlled

No one ever wants to see bloodshed,
But the peaceful path has long since gone ice cold

There’s a revolution, revolution rising
There’s a revolution, revolution rising

History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways,
From the beginning of time until the end of days

Sometimes the masses need to take control,
Shift the balance back the other way

There’s a revolution, revolution rising
There’s a revolution, revolution rising
