Rise
Written by Toby Quast
An ode to the sea, and how much we've fucked it up.
LYRICS
CHORUS
And they rise, (RISE!) the oceans they rise!
You best quickly learn to swim, lads, or you're likely gonna die
If all else has failed, we’ll all just set sail
Lash up your boats, lads, and together we’ll rise
There lives not a woman as dangerous as she
We’ve all tasted vengeance at the hands of the sea
But given her treatment, she’s right to be pissed
She’ll keep flooding cities ‘til we’ve fixed our shit
CHORUS
I’d suggest learning fishing when we depart soil
But we’ve fished out the oceans, leaving plastic and oil
As long as it’s windy and as long as we’ll float
I just hope you can grow crops on the deck of a boat
CHORUS
Ya best know your rigging and know how to row
‘Cos here at the Dock we’re all ready to go
As long as the keg’s full, with bottles abound
We’ll be drinking and singing until we’ve all drowned.
CHORUS
A toast to the ocean, raise your glass to the skies
She’s been through the wringer and she’s turning the tides
Let’s go out happy and pissed while we sink
So finish your glass and we’ll end in the drink
CHORUS x 2
