Rises Up Again
rik shrapnel · 4 plays
gritty raspy male vocals, gravelly hangover tone male voice, fiery revival energy, soul-drenched male singer, 1950s vintage lo-fi, dusty vinyl crackle, distorted hammond b3 organ, overdriven tube mic, handclaps, foot stomps, distant congregational shouts
Lyrics
Intro
Crackle of a worn record, slow heavy organ chords
Verse
(Gravelly voice, heavy breathing)
FRY-ENDS... [gasp]... thuh DEV-UHL is HOW-LIN' at cher door-step... [gasp]...
and thuh rain is LASH-IN' 'gainst cher win-duh... [gasp]... but you... YOU STAY THUH CO-URSE!
This world wants tuh see you CRUM-PUHL... [gasp]... it wants tuh see you QUIT...
but you were BUILT... uh STER-NUR STUFF! [gasp]
Pre-chorus
Lookit thuh WORD... in Prah-vurbs Twenny-Four... verse Six-teen:
"For a just man FALL-UTH sev-uhn times... AND RISE-UTH UP A-GIN!" [gasp]
Yew hear me?! [gasp] It don't say he stays down!
It says he GETS... BACK... UP!

And a FORCE that will NOT be de-nied!

AY-MEN! [gasp] AND HAL-UH-LOO-YUH!
(Sound of a hand slamming the pulpit, organ swells and fades)
