Rise - Lyrics - Satanic Surfers

Satanic Surfers were formed in fall 1989 by vocalist Erik and drummer Rodrigo. Soon after Frederick and Magnus joined on guitar and Tomek on bass, but the band did not release their debut, Skate to Hell, until 1993. Skate to Hell was the first release issued by Bad Taste Records. Ulf replaced Erik on vocals for 1994's Keep Out on Burning Heart Records, and when he left the group, Rodrigo became the group's vocalist alongside drumming duties. Three LPs then followed on Burning Heart, with several lineup changes occurring before the group returned to Bad Taste for two releases in 2000. After 2002's Unconsciously Confined, the group added bassist Andy DahlstrÃ¶m and drummer Robert Samsonovitz, and issued their final album, 2005's Taste the Poison. They disbanded in 2007.

Don't let them break down your sense of identity Don't let your life be controlled by the *** they feed you to make you doubt your ability like a well trained puppet-let them indoctrinate this self-censoring fear-into your heart and mind How much longer can you keep on pretending? Everything will be fine but life unlike movies don't always have a happy ending take your chances-sort of like I do on those high notes 'cause in the hardest times we find our strength in our darkest hour-on our bleeding knees and if we fall we must rise again. I know sometimes it seems as if we're living in a time of fading dreams when all hope is lost in the process of life in our ever failing search for happiness... but we know... if we fall we must rise again
