Rapture Rising
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C#m
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C#m A
Beyond the ocean
F#m G#sus4 G#
A lighthouse is waiting for me
C#m A
The Great Chain in motion
F#m G#sus4 G#
Beneath the waves of the sea
C#m
Into the city
A
All good things flow
F#m
The sweat on your brow
G#sus4 G#
Is what you reap and sow
C#m
Forge your own fortune
A
From salt and from sand
F#m
No gods or kings
G#sus4 G#
Only man
[Verse 1]
C#m
Folks told me, son, you won the gene pool
C#m
So I guess I had a head start on these fools
C#m
Doesn't take a Winter Blast for Jack to keep cool
C#m
But isolation in the deep blue can be cruel
C#m
I descend the depths fathom by fathom
C#m
As if the ocean opened up and I've been cast in a chasm
C#m
Upon a sweeping seascape, genetic accidents happened
C#m
But don't blame EVE, the cause of the fall had to be ADAM
C#m
If you believe the sweat of your brow oughtta be yours
C#m
Listen to Andrew Ryan, the philosophical entrepreneur
C#m
He might've put me on blast, but I'll get past his thugs
C#m
I asked who Fontaine was, and Atlas Shrugged
C#m
Welcome to Rapture, where you can manufacture
C#m
Evolution: natural selection's happening faster
C#m
Were you shocked when I said I was nothing less than electric
C#m
This city's dead but I bet that I can resurrect it
C#m
An engine never rests in Hephaestus
C#m
Like a Lazarus Vector, giving breath to the breathless (Gasp)
C#m
I'm getting quite dependent on medkits
C#m
I just met a demented doctor obsessed with perfection
C#m
You promised me pretty, Steinman, why did I get this?
C#m
I treated your ugliness like an infection!
C#m
That's why I took a wrench when I went to the dentist
C#m
And my smile was dazzlin' after bashin' his head in
C#m
Collectin' weapons, makin' effective inventions
A
I'll make you vanish like Houdini when I pump lead in you Leadheads
F#m
I call it artwork, want it censored? Forget it
G#
I got a killer's disposition, I guess it's genetic, death is a choice that I
rejected!
[Hook]
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We turn our hopes up to the skies
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We'll go down with our sinking paradise
[Verse 2]
C#m
Roll up my sleeves, so blood will not get on'em
C#m
These shackles remind me I started from the bottom
C#m
Hello little fish, have you had your cherry popped?
C#m
I'm a grown man, damnit, I ain't scared of shots
C#m
Shots shots shots shots now my veins are on fire
C#m
Rearrangin' DNA? Sounds like playing with fire
C#m
Sciences are practiced with a lack of moral guidance
C#m
Splicers seek to satisfy their sick sadistic vices
C#m
Victims become villains, angry vandals turn to violence
C#m
Sickly children sticking by their less than gentle giants
C#m
Minds manipulated by the parasite inside'em
C#m
But if you're a parasite in Ryan's eyes, you're put to silence
C#m
The great and strong will not yield to the weak and feeble
C#m
Better change your DNA if you'd like to fight as equals
C#m
Harvest ADAM, feed on EVE, it doesn't make me evil
C#m
Because my survival rides on getting Power to the People
C#m
Dozens of desperate denizens deal with deprivation
C#m
But let's be fair, laissez-faire, forget the regulations
C#m
This economy's perfectly working without you
C#m
Now let me fill my craving at the Circus of Values
C#m
Drawn to this city, like a moth to a flame
C#m
Fallin' from grace, swallowed by a watery grave
C#m
Now I'll frolic on this stage, I'm a part in a play
C#m
Like I was nothing but a puppet, just a pawn in the game
C#m G#
Lookin' for something to set me apart from a slave
[Hook]
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We turn our hopes up to the skies
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We'll go down with our sinking paradise, rise
[Bridge]
C#m A F#m
Rapture is bleeding through cracks that are leaking
G#m G#sus4 C#m
Dwindling memories tell secrets they're keeping
A F#m
Demons disguised by benign masquerades
G#m G#
Angels climb out of their graves
[Verse 3]
C#m
Mind over matter is the practice I'm preachin'
C#m
How else could I achieve feats of telekinesis
C#m
And I'm an expert at hacking past your defense
C#m
Then I'll attack you like a swarm from a hornet nest (Buzz off!)
C#m
The Gatherer's Garden ain't runnin' short of guests
C#m
I've been cleaning'em out, I can afford the best
C#m
Hey! Do you wish your waist was slimmer? (Yes!) Or your chin was chiseled more?
(Huh?)
C#m
Careful, vanity could send us into civil war
C#m
In a utopia, who's gonna wanna scrub the toilets?
C#m
The people in Apollo Square got no other choices
C#m
I know how this is gonna end, but I don't wanna spoil it
C#m
You try to seize my city? Time that I destroy it!
C#m
Just relax, Big Daddy, I command ya
C#m
Strike a pose, smile for the camera
C#m
I think objectively, just like Ayn Rand does
C#m
Attention: will the real Fontaine stand up?
C#m
A man chooses, unlike a slave
C#m
Who never strays from the path that his master paves
C#m
Follows every order and does everything they say
C#m
Now Would You Kindly... Obey?
C#m
Obey, obey
C#m
Obey, obey
C#m
Obey, obey
C#m
Obey, obey
[Hook]
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We turn our hopes up to the skies
C#m A
Rise, Rapture, rise
F#m G#sus4 G#
We'll go down with our sinking paradise
[Outro]
C#m A
My city is thriving (Rise, Rapture, rise)
F#m G#sus4 G#
Your allies - choose them wisely (We turn our hopes up to the skies)
C#m A
Our Rapture is rising (Rise, Rapture, rise)
F#m G#sus4 G#
Stand with us, Would You Kindly? (We'll go down with our sinking paradise)
C#m
Rise
