Send "Rise" Ringtone to Cell

Rise
Throw away
The charade of your life
Let the flame of my heart
Burn away
Your complacence tonight
I command you to rise
Wash away
The decay of your life
Feel the light of your eyes
Find the way
Through the darkness tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I covet like you do

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Am I precious to you now

Now rise
Turn away
From the shame of your life
Feel the light from my eyes
Offering
Consolation tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I covet like you do

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Now, I cannot stop this
Pure emotion
Falling from my eyes
You are vindicating
Liberating
Saviors of my soul

    General Comment:To me this song is about a dialogue between God and a human:
    God - Verses
    Human - Chorus and Interlude
    God is trying to give the human faith, to get him out of 'the shame of his life'.
    Just an opinion, but probably more wrong that right. I love this song.

    General Comment:I agree with Necronic. That's the way i see this song. And i just wanna get this out there. there is no point in arguing about a meaning of a song because we all see the meanings of songs different becuase we all live different lives.Just wanted to get that out there.

    General Comment:I truly think David is telling us to let the little things go and join him on the level he has obtained in life. It's time to rise up and go get something done. Give away all of the little things because they are meaningless. And at the end he is thanking us for being with and behind Disturbed. If you have ever been to one of their concerts, it is clear that he loves us as brothers and sisters. THAT is exactly what he is telling us to do. To band together and love each other as brothers and sisters, as he loves us. DAVID DRAIMAN FTW!!!

    General Comment:The song is ab0out being yourself basically. it screams individuality. he says like 10 times "hearing no one" and "fearing no one" Like hearing as in not caring about wat people say or as some wuld call haters and fearing no1 like bullies.

    General Comment:The song is about how you should be you and not give a damn about what people think about you, or you will never be truly happy with yourself.

    Listen to the lyric go
    "rise!
    throw away!
    the charade of your life!"

    So throw away the charade of how you live, and start living. Im black and i like rock. And EVERYONE at my school knows it. I am away from "the crowd" and above it. I've risen above them because im not like them. Or as they would call it: "weird"
