Lyrics of
On The Rise

Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that human kind has gone insane
Listen close to everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground.
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world's filled with filth and lies
But it's plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise.
(Penny)
Look around
We're living with the lost and found.
And you believe there's good in everybody's heart
Keep it safe and sound.
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise?
Cause it seems to me
Some kind of harmony is on the rise.
(Both: Dr Horrible first line, Penny second)
Anyone with half a brain
Take it slow
Could spend their whole life howling in pain
He looks at me and seems to know
Cause the dark is everywhere And Penny doesn't seem to care
The things that I'm afraid to show And suddenly
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
I feel this glow
Listen close to everybody's heart
And I believe there's good in everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound
Keep it safe and sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
With hope you can do your part
And crashing to the ground.
To turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world's filled with filth and lies
How the world's finally growing wise
But it's plain to see
And it's plain to see
Evil inside of me
Rapture inside of me
is on the rise
is on the rise
