I counted to one hundred I kept losin' track I wrote one hundred letters No one wrote back I told one hundred stories But all of them got twisted I sang one hundred songs But nobody listened
You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise to power Rise to power Rise to power Ain't a shade of difference 'tween the heroes 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 grey and bland 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 Rise to power Rise to power You're down on your knees Pullin' 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 to power Rise to power Rise to power The whole world's watchin' There's a gunman in the tower Baby, you've got to rise to power
