Rise Up
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will sit right here and bide my time
As long as it takes, to get what's mine
And I won't be denied!
And all I got left is my pride
And I will rise up!
Break the rules - Break new ground
Had your chance - Now it's gone
A new day - A new dawn
I will sit right here and I will wait
But sooner than later, it's your last mistake
And I won't be denied!
And all I got left is my pride
And I will rise up!
Breaking out - Break you down
Break the rules - Break new ground
Had your chance - Now it's gone
A new day - A new dawn
I control my own fate!
Now, for you, it's too late!
It's my dream! - It's my way!
It's my life! - It's your pain! ...Oh, no!
And I won't be denied!
And all I got left is my pride
And I will rise up!
Breaking out - Break you down
Break the rules - Break new ground
Had your chance - Now it's gone
What you take - What you've done
And I won't be denied!
And all I got left is my pride
And I will rise up!
Breaking out - Break you down
Break the rules - Break new ground
Had your chance - Now it's gone
A new day - A new dawn
A new dawn

@thomasmuller1425
Herbert West The original version was badass. From 2004-2006. That's my kind of Smackdown theme.
@KingShade1
Has anyone ever heard Drowning Pool play this live? Wonder if they're allowed.
Best SmackDown theme of all time!
