"RISE" lyrics

"RISE"

Look around, look around
Look around you
Little town, lost and found
Where we find you
If you stay your decay
Will define you oh

Come along, come along
Come and join us
Take a little walk
In the middle of the madness
Get your mind and your rhyme
And your reason blown

You can feel it
You can taste it
Take a bite of your life
Don't you waste it
Ride the lightning
Roll the thunder
You're the chosen one

I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Straight to the top
Gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Then rip you apart
I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Watch you rise, watch you fall
Gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Rise
Up, up, up, up
Rise

Take a bow, take a bow
To the new king
Ever cool is the fool
Never lasting
Wanted dead or alive
Every king must die

Tic toc, tic toc
You're a time bomb
World is gonna watch
While you have your final meltdown
What you were, what you want
What you are no more

They can feel it
They can taste it
Eat you up, spit you out
Defecated
Boy wonder
Trampled under
You're the chosen one

Gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Straight to the top
I'm gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Then rip you apart
I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Watch you rise, watch you fall
Gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up

Want it, got it
Bought it, sold it
Bag it, tag it
Take it, leave it

I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Straight to the top
I'm gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Then rip you apart
I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Watch you rise, watch you fall
Gonna raise you up, up, up, up
Rise
Up, up, up, up

Gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Straight to the top
Gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Then rip you apart
I'm gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Watch you rise, watch you fall
Gonna lift you up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up

You got what you want
You got what you want, oh yeah
You got what you want
Yeah

"RISE" is the first single from Extreme's studio album "Six". The song was premiered on March 1, 2023, accompanied by the music video directed by the band's guitar player Nuno Bettencourt and filmed in Los Angeles. With the song's release, the Boston quartet also opened the pre-order for their first new album after fifteen years since their last studio release.
Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone told about this track, "Musically, it's aggressive. Lyrically, it's a cautionary tale on the rise and fall of fame. You get seduced into it. Once you're on top, they'll rip you apart and tear you down. That's the nature of the beast."
