Abney Park - Rise Up lyrics

Down in the dust, our feet are cold and tired We've built your walls, we've lit your f**ing fires We've even fought your wars, guarded your lives Greased your pipes, we made and laid your wires Heavy with rust our shoulders bear your loads Plumb out of trust, too many lives hewed low You ask for much, but give burdens untold It's time to rush, it's time to dump this load Raise your fists up to the sky Be yourself be more before you die Take a stand from your proclivity And march away from your captivity Down in the dust, our feet are cold and tired We've built your walls, we've lit your f**ing fires We've even fought your wars, guarded your lives Greased your pipes, we made and laid your wires Raise your fists up to the sky Be yourself be more before you die Take a stand from your proclivity And march away from your captivity
