Rise
Voivod/Voïvod Lyrics

Anark
The concept of anarchy

Neuro-perfect
A state of mental perfection

Lies sleeping in death
The idea of anarchy is dormant and seemingly dead

Nether darkness underground
It exists in the depths of society, hidden and unseen

Scared silence
People are afraid to speak out or act against the idea of anarchy

Not a sound
A complete absence of dissenting voices

Demok
The concept of democracy

Meta-control
A level of control beyond what is currently possible

Out goes the signal
A signal is sent out, a call for change or action

Radiation from the sky
The signal spreads like a wave, affecting everyone in its path

Activation
The signal causes a reaction, sparking something within people

Second life
A new beginning, a change in the status quo

Now see the new light rise
The dawn of a new era, a shift towards something better

Anark returns to earth
The idea of anarchy re-emerges

Out into the world
It spreads and affects the world at large

Restoration over all
A return to the old ways, a rejection of progress or change

Nether darkness as before
The idea of anarchy exists once again, hidden from view

Now see the new light rise
The possibility of change remains, and new ideas can always emerge

Now see the new night rise
A new darkness may emerge, but change is always possible

Must overcloud
The return to old ways is inevitable

Dark like before
The idea of anarchy returns, and the future is uncertain
