Rise Against - Help Is On The Way

Song: Help Is On The Way

Artist: Rise Against

Album: Endgame

Rise Against is an American punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois.

Now I know I did a Rise Against song on here not that long ago, but today (January 25th) Rise Against released a new song Help Is On the Way. The song is the first single off of their upcoming new album, which will be their sixth studio album. The album is called Endgame and is set to be released on March 15th 2011. Rise Against are known for their politically charged and socially concious lyrics and this song follows that theme as well. I think the song is about the BP oil spill. About the loss of life and the pollution caused by the oil spill. About a tragedy caused by corporations trying to make more money at the cost of the environment and human lives. Also about government officials who make false reasurances that everything is fine when in fact it's not. I like the guitar and drums on this song. The lyrics are amazing. I think Rise Against has done a great job on this song, I love it, and I can't wait until Endgame comes out.

"Help Is On The Way"

I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The cursed city sleeps,
Watch giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.

Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning,
The severance is dying.
And all along they say it.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.

Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.

She says that's the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words miss the dark light,
Does anyone care?
And all along they say it.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.

Right here! Right here! [x3]

Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely,
We keep actions in the attics,
To see cameras in the sky.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight,
Cause somebody will soon arrive.
Help is on the way.
But it never came!
It never came!

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
On the way.
