Arise, Therefore – Bill Callahan & Bonnie “Prince” Billy (feat. Six Organs of Admittance) (originally by Bonnie “Prince” Billy)

There will be no end soon If I’ve seen things right that have come People will be scared They never will see anything
Arise Meanwhile all of my friends have been struck dumb Arise Arise How can no final thing come When our faces are pulled from us Arise Arise
How can someone blame Who they refuse to name Arise Arise For pulling other people down with them Arise Arise
Some have risen, they are lucky Arise Arise To have their fall delayed by people Arise Arise What they have is threaded Grafted, and plotted Played out and bad Arise Arise
Some have made mistakes for us Waiting by the door for us Arise
We told them to go ahead Their support is just a weight Arise Arise
Better to sever the weighted limb Arise Arise
Where is it hanging tonight Arise Arise
It is not looming to propel us along Arise Arise
We move ourselves to it One year to sit in dirt Arise Arise
One cycle with which to Arise Arise Arise Comment upon the Arise Arise Dirt
