Rise Up
NerdOut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No time to run it's the fight of your life
Your time has come

Just follow the light steady your guns
With all of your might till the fight is won
This is our time to rise
We've defeated every
Interplanetary challenger the cabal
Yeah they got the gall to come and battle us
Ever since the traveler was captured
We've been going through a living hell
You can call it a rapture
The tower was blown to bit's
It was a massacre
Now they want us to bow down
And call 'em masters no
The light belongs to us

Not scavengers

Jealousy of tech hungry

Loot stealing saboteurs

Okay now we've had enough
You say you're ready but hold up
Hold up we calling your bluff
Let's hold it steady this is now or never
Get all your guns

And a secondary better count your blessings

Gotta get up and run we are the guardians

The opposition is tough get another weapon
They overstepping gotta blow em to dust
It's armageddon

This is now or never get all your guns
And a secondary

Better count your blessings
Gotta get up and run

We are the guardians

They have come to take what's ours
We have lost the light so sacred

(Rise up, rise up)
A rightful place amongst the stars
So now we have to fight to take it back
(Rise up, rise up) took out our satellites
And hit us with a sneak attack
Then we tried to hold the line
But we couldn't keep em back
Couldn't get the speaker back
Red devils took our home

Now our factions are scattered
Into different zones
This is just another chapter in the saga
Now we gotta find Cayde

Ikora and Zavala shoulda been vigilant
Diligent now we gotta rally all the citizens

Rise up and hit again

Okay now we've had enough
You say you're ready but hold up
Hold up we calling your bluff
Let's hold it steady

This is now or never get all your guns
And a secondary better count your blessings

Gotta get up and run we are the guardians

The opposition is tough get another weapon
They overstepping

Gotta blow em to dust

It's armageddon this is now or never
Get all your guns and a secondary
Better count your blessings
Gotta get up and run

We are the guardians

They have come to take what's ours
We have lost the light so sacred
(Rise up, rise up)
A rightful place amongst the stars
So now we have to fight to take it back
(Rise up, rise up)

No time to run it's the fight of your life
Your time has come just follow the light
Steady your guns with all of your might
Till the fight is won
This is our time to rise
(This is our time to rise)

They have come to take what's ours
(O-o-o oh, yeah, yeah)
We have lost the light so sacred (Sacred)
A rightful place amongst the stars
(The stars)




So now we have to fight to take it back
(Back, back, back, back)
