lyrics

When the uprise lifts
And the raging crowds have all grown cold
You look at your iron fist and miss
The buzz of beginnings,
and you're free to go.
See a buzzard circling round
a playground you saved
It's like half a joke to see how old you've become
And man
You're not even that old.

Now the time of action's past
Moons and four summers gone all wrong
A wild horse in an open cage sighs at the mare in the field
Hello Y'all!
See the demons they'd caught
When they told you "get a grip!"
It's a minor slip and then you're on your ass because, you know...
It hurts when the uprise lifts.

Please don't ask for it again,
I'll see it through you.
I'm bound to be the same in the end
Please don't ask for it again.

When the fire hits
And the last leaf has fallen on judgement day
You burry your head in hands and wonder
What the hell did you do wrong,
Where are we now?
On the verge of migration
From Sinai to Tel Aviv
It's our last resort and we do it just for sport, because you see
The well was never deep enough,

But when your home amiss
And reality keeps changing constantly around you
You make up your mind three seconds too late
Then you're bound to be bounded
Plead for something to shift
For milenium to approach quick
Before they make with the stick, you know...
IT HURTS WHEN THE UPRISE LIFTS!

Please don't ask for it again,
I'll see it through you.
I'm bound to be the same in the end
Please don't ask for it again.
