When They Rise - Exit Calm

The victory will be a landslide

It’s been rigged since the dawn of time

all controlled to be socially morbid

invisible only from the outside

how’s it feel make you act surprised

now you’re here can you tell me why

when they take to the streets

and the fires are high in the sky

that’s the point when you realise

it was lies

when they rise

when the lies are kicking you down

until you’re reaching for the ground

when you scream and you hear no sound

when society started long ago

where did all the honoured go?

ever wondered if your world was bought and sold?

when the passage of time isn’t right in your mind

it’s a lie

when it should be on a loop that you can rewind

when they rise

when we rise

when the lies are kicking you down

until you’re reaching for the ground

when you scream and you hear no sound

when society started long ago

where did all the honoured go

ever wondered if your world was bought and sold

but you will never change their minds

like a clock never tells time

you fall with your own decline

I defy you to walk alone

shouting what you stand for

but that’ll be a long wait

do you even know the day

today
