I know where the bodies are
I buried them myself
I'm coming down from afterhere
To terminate your health
I am not a peaceful man
When lightning leaps up from my hand
Something in your smiling eyes
Says all you gotta do is rise

I am not a peaceful man
But sometimes when I take your hand
The natural urge it does subside
For plunder, rape and genocide
I'm not one to compromise
And the truth, the beauty, the ruined prize
Look into your smiling eyes 'cause all I wanna do is rise

I am a lizard in the sun
With hooded eyes and belly warm
I move down through the blackened fields
The ocean wide, a silver shield
Hold me darling in your arms
And stay here till the mornin' comes
Look into your smiling eyes
And all I gotta do is rise

Grinderman, Rise
