Artist: The Nightwatchman
Song: Rise to Power
Album: The Fabled City
Intro:
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 hundred songs, nobody listened
Chorus:
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, between the hills and the cowards
Baby you've got to rise to power
Forced confessions, and the coming attractions
Delusions that grandeur, split into factions
A silent dark camelot, a kingdom gray and black
A dull empty heaven, a strong leaders hand
Chorus:
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 in my seed to hear my screams
Into your embrace, I ever drift
And in your arms, unforgiven
Chorus:
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
The whole world's watching, there's a gun in the tower
Baby you've got to rise to power
