Rise Or Fall

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Please don't suffer

Gotta just make it quick

You thought you had it

You don't now what it takes to beg

You lost your cause

You lost your time to kill

You won't matter much

When they all got their feel



Mothers teach you to crawl

Fathers teach you to rise or fall

Mothers grieve for a son

Fathers teach you

"You're on your own"



I won't quiver

I don't squirm a sweat

You lost our gun you got

Nothing to make a fist

Incinerator

I'll just flip a switch

Forget we did it

And you and I will face this hell



Mothers teach to crawl

Fathers teach you to rise or fall

Mothers grief for a son

Fathers teach you to take it on



All my fears awakening

I've let them back

All this flash before my eyes

I never had

Where's your consulation?

Now listen flies

"Walk my son, I've taught you well

You're on your way down"



Fuck the past I'm up and gone as well

(You couldn't of lied, your curse is made)

I'm coming fast you got nothing left to say

(You never saw it, your curse is conscience)

In the end you've got no answers

(You couldn't of lied, your curse is made)

So much feeling you don't know how to take my hand (You never saw it, your curse is conscience)



Mothers teach you to crawl

Fathers teach to you rise or fall

Lessons a pig for a son

Never see what you're reaching for



Mothers teach you to crawl

Fathers teach you're on your own

Mothers teach you to take what you waited
