Rise 04:50
There's an angel of death on your back You gotta run So you and your kid won't get hit But that's the order of the day In a country Where shoot to kill is done at will You gotta love me while you can Or cut me out Cut me down and ease the pain All the good times are getting washed away We gotta rise again another day All the good times are getting washed away How could I end up so displaced. You can't hold on to the past Just hold it in your mind The girl you knew no longer hides Her hands behind her back I want some recompense No abject fear is gonna make me toe the line We gotta fix it while we can Or hunt me down Come and shoot me down in flames All the good times are getting washed away We gotta rise again another day All the good times are getting washed away How could I end up so displaced All the good times are getting washed away We gotta rise again another day All the good times are getting washed away How could I end up so displaced I gotta find my way again How could I end up so displaced

Halcyon Days 04:16
Swimming out to mainland Our history got lost Our lives aren't worth the same The rights have all been bought Where do we go now? With the Halcyon days behind The workers looking hopeful Yet they're breathing in the stink Holding out on payroll In a burnt out well-fare state Where do we go now? With the Halcyon days behind And it's time we woke up to the call We don't need medals or trophies or phoney curtain calls Or a lion that roars for nothing Into nothingness Just us At dusk an empty playground The wind blows a broken swing Promises of mending On the never-never wind Where do we go now? With the Halcyon days behind Wake up Take a look at me now We gotta start looking at the silver lining
