Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I say rise up
When I say war
That means the time is now
To even up the score
[Verse 2]
The leader speaks
His plan has failed before
Enlisted soldiers awaiting orders
[Verse 3]
It's time for justice
Just like before
Our troops protect and serve
Are they ever coming home?
[Verse 4]
So much regret
Another killed by war
Such a tragedy
Enlisted soldiers obey their orders
[Verse 5]
When I say rise up
You say war
When I say rise up
You say war
[Verse 6]
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
[Verse 7]
The smell of death
Reeks through the air
The stench of burning bodies
Bloodshed everywhere
[Verse 8]
Scattered remains
And bullet shells
Send in the dogs of war
Unleash the hounds of hell
[Verse 9]
It's time to rise up
It's time to rise for war
It's time to rise up
Black is death and red is war
[Verse 10]
Yeah, I said rise up
And you said war
All for one and one for all
The perfect world war
[Verse 11]
All of the rest
Will fail just like before
Such a tragedy
The fallen soldiers, they followed orders
[Verse 12]
When I say rise up
You say war
When I say rise up
You say war
[Verse 13]
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
Rise up (War)
