There’s a march on the street, another protest song And we know all the words so we sing along There’s a riot in my heart and I wear it on my sleeve There’s a ringing in my ears and it’s the sound of revolution - SCREAM! We SCREAM! And there’s an uproar on the rise There’s no time left for compromise We hit the streets and we don’t fear anything We’re here without a lifeline In our hearts forever after We sing our songs screaming from the rafters In this time, hear and now we rise To SING! A song for a better time It’s an anthem with a better line We raise our flag and we rally ‘round the battle cry This one is for our lifetime In our hearts forever after We sing our songs screaming from the rafters In this time, revolutions rise There’s a march on the street, another protest song And we know all the words so we sing along There’s a riot in my heart and I wear it on my sleeve There’s a ringing in my ears and it’s the sound of revolution - SCREAM! In this time, life’s a disaster We fill our hearts and trade hate for laughter In this time do we know what’s going on? Here we are broken and shattered We fill our hearts and trade hate for laughter In this time do we know what’s going on? In our hearts forever after We sing our songs screaming from the rafters It’s our time - it’s up to us to rise There’s a march on the street, another protest song And we know all the words so we sing along There’s a riot in my heart and I wear it on my sleeve There’s a ringing in my ears and it’s the sound of revolution - SCREAM! There’s a march on the street, another protest song And we know all the words so we sing along There’s a riot in my heart and I wear it on my sleeve There’s a ringing in my ears and it’s the sound of revolution - SCREAM!

There’s a shot ringing out but they won’t know we’re coming With the finger on the pulse of it they won’t catch us running And divided we stand but united we sing, alright One heart, one hope, a thousand voices scream your name tonight And I know I need a better medicine I’m calling out - it's filling me with ritalin rage I know that I’ve seen better days Help me out I just need a better medicine now There’s a heartbeat burning, we’re too numb to know its breaking And the four walls are falling and the wreckage leaves me shaking This pain, it's a feeling can you tell me do you feel it? One heart, one hope, head over heels until we make it And I know I need a better medicine I’m calling out - it's filling me with ritalin rage I know that I’ve seen better days Help me out I just need a better medicine now Help me out I just need a better medicine now When will the world stop burning? Why are the wheels not turning? Where are the lights that burn so bright? There's a heartbeat burning and i wanna feel it breaking One heart, one hope, we gotta live until the day that we die And I know I need a better medicine I’m calling out - it's filling me with ritalin rage I know that I’ve seen better days Help me out I just need a better medicine now And I know I need a better medicine I’m calling out - it's filling me with ritalin rage I know that I’ve seen better days Help me out I just need a better medicine now Help me out I just need a better medicine now Help me out I just need a better medicine now

No regrets, no distance could ever take control Self destructive tendencies, self help left me alone Disappointment raging in my veins I can’t let go Let’s strike a match to light the fuse Let’s raise a fist, let’s go to the Molotov Breakdown Our innocence explodes And then it’s lights out It’s time to fight, it’s time to lose control Looks like I’m going nowhere It’s heartbreak warfare - Let’s Go! Look back now at time gone, it’s bought and sold The broken hearted sound brigade - how they wanted to stay gold. Disappointment raging in my veins I can’t let go I hear the truth of 1,000 voices screaming as we go to the Molotov Breakdown Our innocence explodes There’s a blackout And don’t lose hope it’s time to take control Looks like I’m going nowhere It’s heartbreak warfare - Let’s Go! No regrets, no distance could ever take control Self destructive tendencies, self help left me alone Disappointment raging in my veins I can’t let go Let’s strike a match to light the fuse Let’s raise a fist, let’s go to the Molotov Breakdown Our innocence explodes And then it’s lights out It’s time to fight, it’s time to lose control Looks like I’m going nowhere It’s heartbreak warfare - Let’s Go! To the Molotov Breakdown Our innocence explodes There’s a blackout And don’t lose hope it’s time to take control Looks like I’m going nowhere It’s heartbreak warfare - Let’s Go!

So gimme, gimme just a piece of the action I know, I’m just looking for a little reaction to go Gimme, gimme just a piece of it, I don’t know I’ll never let go I can’t let go, I’ll never let go. The world is on fire but my heart burns with hope We can’t pull the trigger when we can’t make our way through the smoke It’s time to give back, it’s time to reach out We live or die in each other’s thoughts every night (Let’s make this one shine bright) So gimme, gimme just a piece of the action I know, I’m just looking for a little reaction to go Gimme, gimme just a piece of it, I don’t know I’ll never let go I can’t let go, I’ll never let go. It fills my heart with rage, my stomach with razor blades This is my life to live, not (a game of) horseshoes and hand grenades So gimme, gimme just a piece of the action I know, I’m just looking for a little reaction to go Gimme, gimme just a piece of it, I don’t know I’ll never let go I can’t let go, I’ll never let go. It’s time to draw a line and then we’ll burn it down And raise a flag of hope in its place every time

There’s a fire in my heart, in this song, in this beat - can you feel it? There’s a pain in their voices as they take to the street And they’re screaming out loud, shouting “I can’t breathe” - can you hear it? And when the world wakes up take warning And when the world wakes up (we all lash out) in mourning We’ll be alright And we’ll all take flight like we’re dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive There’s a spark in my heart, in your words, in this beat - can you feel it? There’s a pain in our voices as we take to the street And we’re screaming out loud how “we gotta break free” - can you hear it? And we might all die of boredom/Don’t let me die of boredom If we don’t hear this warning and live our lives like tomorrow’s come and gone We’ll be alright And we’ll torch the sky like we’re dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive But we’ll be alright when you’re by my side and we’re dying to feel alive There’s a fire in my heart, in this song, in this beat - can you feel it? And we’re screaming out loud how “we gotta break free” - can you hear it? So we’ll be alright Let’s torch the sky like we’re dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive I’m dying to feel alive There’s only here and now so scream out loud “I’m dying to feel alive” We’re one for all so let’s sing along “I’m dying to feel alive”

The real America has yet to exist Calling out an S.O.S. Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go! Bright lights The latest fashion A call to arms or a call to action? I need a rush, I’m feelin’ dangerous I’m waking up and the world’s turned its back on us (on the edge of a knife) Calling out for a new world order (on the edge of a knife) One without all the law and disorder (on the edge of a knife democracy is standing) The real America has yet to exist Calling out an S.O.S. Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go! A lost cause without all benefits We’re tossed aside with all the risk and all the rejects The same old song The same old story Go take your place with all the filth and all the fury (on the edge of a knife) Calling out for a new world order (on the edge of a knife) One without all the law and disorder The real America has yet to exist Calling out an S.O.S. Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go! So break these chains of bondage Burning fires of our discontent Our lives are only transformation and trust To build nations beyond degradation of all Exploitation, no country to fall beneath this theater What parts of this story are real and that we should save? Justice for every soul, every unmarked grave in the… (**lyrics by Thomas Barnett) Real America has yet to exist Calling out an S.O.S. The real America has yet to exist Calling out an S.O.S. Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist Calling out an S.O.S. Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist Calling out an S.O.S. We’re calling out an S.O.S. Here we go! IT’S TIME FOR US TO TAKE CONTROL!

We’re on the wrong side of the right side tonight The lights are faded where they used to burn bright And you’re on your own so just do what you like When you’re all alone tonight We’re on the high wire but we trip on the line We’re falling fast now but there’s no end in sight And you’re on your own so just do what you like When it’s you and me tonight We’re wild, young, and free The good die young and what will be will be And tonight will be like no other night Just throw a lifeline and hope we make it alive The bridges burn bright and you know what I like We’re on our own so let’s do what feels right When we’re all alone tonight We’re wild, young, and free The good die young and what will be will be And tonight will be like no other night Wild, young, and free The good die young and what will be will be And tonight will be… Wild, young, and free We’re living fast and dying faster it seems And tonight will be like no other night Like no other night Like no other night - tonight’s the night like no other night When we’re all alone tonight

One wrong move and we’re all dead this time One wrong step and we’re all left behind When what we see and what we do is all that’s left of me and you this time We kiss it all goodbye Get up, let’s go we lose control Come on, let’s go we’re on a roll If one thing’s true then here’s to you this time We made it out alive And won’t you catch me catching you? And won’t you shine a light to guide me through? When what you see is what we get And you just ain’t seen nothing yet this time We kiss it all goodbye Get up, let’s go we lose control Come on, let’s go we’re on a roll If one thing’s true then here’s to you this time We made it out alive One wrong move and we’re all dead this time One wrong step and we’re all left behind When what we see and what we do is all that’s left of me and you this time We kiss it all goodbye Get up, let’s go we lose control Come on, let’s go we’re on a roll If one thing’s true then here’s to you this time We made it out alive Get up, let’s go we lose control Come on, let’s go we’re on a roll If one thing’s true then here’s to you this time We made it out alive

I got the shakes from this addiction And they’re crawling out from under my skin So we hit the town running wild (And I’m) not sure of where I’ve been And you’re the face of this affliction And you’re breaking every bone in my heart So we tear apart the Boulevard And not sure of where I’ll start So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight And we chase infatuation When we find it then we tear it apart Sing it loud, sing it proud Revolution is the fuel, I’m the spark So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight I got the shakes from this addiction And they’re crawling out from under my skin So we hit the town running wild (And I’m) not sure of where I’ve been So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight So we kill the lights and we lose control We’re calling out destination knowone knows tonight

Untouchable 02:59
There’s something about forgiveness that we must be forgetting When one of us is walking out the door Ashes to ashes we all fall down And without a voice we’ll make no sound When worlds collide we’re out of time Does this mean war? Let’s take back the night This is our time - it’s yours and mine Untouchable Tonight, too late No time, don’t hesitate My heart’s like a hand grenade and its about to detonate But I don't want to disappoint you If you’re gonna dream then dream out loud tonight (We’re) Untouchable. There’s truth in all this hatred - a truth we’ll be regretting When the ghost of us stands silent on the floor Ashes to ashes we all fall down And the record spins but makes no sound The radio plays the same sad song tonight Does this mean war? Let’s take back the night Marquee lights shine bright - I feel so alive/makes me feel alive Untouchable Tonight, too late No time, don’t hesitate My heart’s like a hand grenade and its about to detonate But I don't want to disappoint you If you’re gonna dream then dream out loud tonight (We’re) Untouchable. Let’s take back the night This is our time - it’s yours and mine (I feel so alive!) Untouchable Tonight, so long Can’t we just get along? My heart’s like a hand grenade and its about to detonate But I don't want to disappoint you If you’re gonna dream then dream out loud tonight No I don't want to disappoint you If you’re gonna dream then dream out loud tonight (We’re) Untouchable.

Thinking about all the days gone by And how this could be the first, or it might be the last time I see your face or you see mine But I hear your voice and know that I’m alive Letting go is the hardest part of this night Hold me close and together we’ll see daylight Just don’t look back and don’t let go If this is all we’ve got then I don’t wanna know We’re out of time and this could be the last chance for us tonight Three words, three chords Can make the world seem so small And this could be the last chance for us tonight It was three words, and three chords Can’t we all just sing along? ‘Cuz this could be the last song for us tonight When we were young there was a riot burning so bright It filled our hearts and every struggle was a true fight To fuel our hopes, our hearts, and dreams And every song we play and every word we’ll ever sing Giving up is the hardest part of this night Brothers in arms and together we’ll see daylight You pick me up, I’ll be by your side If this is where we end I know we’ll be alright We’re out of time and this could be the last chance for us tonight Three words, three chords Can make the world seem so small And this could be the last chance for us tonight It was three words, three chords Can’t we all just sing along? ‘Cuz this could be the last song for us tonight And this could be the last song for us tonight These could still be the good ‘ol days So let’s pack our bags and be on our way We’ll let the highway lights shine bright and guide us on our way tonight It was a long way home A long lost highway home Three words, three chords Can make the world seem so small And this could be the last chance for us tonight It was three words, three chords Can’t we all just sing along? ‘Cuz this could be the last song for us tonight And this could be the last song for us tonight ‘Cuz this could be the last song for us tonight

about

Ann Beretta's first album of new material since 2003! RISE is perhaps the band's most ambitious album to date and features several of their long-time friends adding their talents and voices. This album offers all the anthemic hooks and catchy choruses you'd expect from Ann Beretta, however, the band pushes forward lyrically and sonically to bring you something new and unexpected.
