Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Memories are fading
A single voice complaining
Days are stacking up
It's hardly worth debating
The people are frustrated
Drink from poison cup
[PreChorus]
The system is collapsing
Conscience is relapsing
The damage has been done
[Chorus]
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
[Verse 2]
Vision is rejected
The people's choice is tested
So ignorance has won
Children are infected
a remedy suggested
Don't drink from tainted cup
[PreChorus]
Overpopulation
A media sensation
The damage has been done
[Chorus]
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
[Bridge]
On the day you come
[Outro]
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up
