Rise to Power

I counted to one hundred, I kept losing track I wrote a hundred letters, no one wrote back I told a hundred stories, and all of them got twisted I sang a hundreds songs, nobody listened. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise to power. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Ain't a shade of difference 'tween the hills and the cowards Baby, you've got to rise to power. Forced confessions and coming attractions Delusions of grandeur split into factions A silent, dark Camelot, a kingdom gray and black A dull empty heaven A strong leader's hand. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise to power. You've got to rise to power Rise to power You're down on your knees, pulling up the flowers Baby, you've got to rise to power. No holy water can wash me clean No angel of mercy to hear my screams Into your embrace, I'm ever driven And in your arms, unforgiven. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise power You've got to rise to power Rise to power The whole world's watching, there's a gunman in the tower Baby, you've got to rise to power.
