The King Is Rising lyrics

PLAY IMPELLITTERI The King Is Rising video every morning on the evening news
I hear the same ol` story someone singing the blues
disaster striking out and you`re not ready
California quakes and the Midwest floods
see the hurricanes and the Malibu mud
ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy

I hear the prophet of the modern day
shouting out from the side of the stage

the kind is rising
will you be ready to stand up and fight

there`s feeling all across the land
times are tough--getting way out of hand
crime is on the run and there`s no safety
war in the streets, the economy
nothing stays the same and there`s nothing for me
everybody`s frantic for the sure thing

I see the prophet of the modern day
stepping out from society`s cage

the king is rising
will you be ready to stand up and fight
the king is rising
will you be ready to lay down your life

I don`t think he`ll take any longer, no,
I don`t think he`ll take any more

[solo]

the king is rising
will you be ready to stand up and fight
the king is rising
will you be ready to lay down your life
