Rise Or Fall

Rise Or Fall
Sleeping in my mother's arms
Inches from a world of harm
Ten years later 5:00 A.M.
Alcoholic hell and then
I heard it call:
Rise or Fall
Living like an effigy
Vultures staring down at me
Went to hell and touched the ground
Then I heard a subtle sound
Do you like the neighborhood?
Do you think it feels good?
Do you want to Rise - or Fall?
Rise!
