Lyrics

Fly - © 2006

She got all dressed up in the midnight's darkness
Her lips were red, her gown was black
She would try to rise out of a maze of violence
Like Icarus on wings of wax

Rise Split the Darkness Rise Greet the night
Rise Spread your wings and fly

They bound her down with TV channels
They flogged her mind with drug-filled wine
But she'd had enough of these violent measures
So she struggled to her feet for her dance with time

Rise Split the Darkness Rise Greet the night
Rise Spread your wings and fly

{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)

No, she could not take this lust for killing
She could not take this thirst for pain
She could not take their violent movies
Or the hateful songs with their bloodlust ways

Rise Split the Darkness Rise Greet the night
Rise Spread your wings and fly


She could not take the money making
From the violent video games
Anesthetize the teenage nation
Make war the idol that they praised

Rise Split the Darkness Rise Meet the light
Rise Spread your wings and fly

{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)

{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)



In her mind she flew into a young green forest
Where she listened hard to the growing trees
In her mind she saw a young man running
He smiled, waved and held his hands up free

Rise Split the Darkness Rise To the light
Rise Like a crane and fly
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)

{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)

{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
{Leave the violence behind like a ball and chain} (Shaolin)
