Lyrics for Further to Fall
You fill the streets and you burn the logs / Fighting with all your might / You try to be heard / But all your resistance won’t change a thing / ‘Cause in the end they barely heard a scream
And all your actions were in vain
Gather together all the forces that you can / Unite all the people / Put a rock in their hand / Stop all the movement / Bring the world to a hault / Make a big commotion and then tell them it’s their fault
But all your actions are in vain
Your hands are tied, there is nothing left to do / You hoped and prayed, but now you seem the fool / ‘Cause in the end money speaks louder than all / And all you got is further to fall
But still you fill the streets / And still you burn the logs / Fighting with all your might / You try to be heard / And with your resistance you hope for a change / ‘Cause you see this as the only way
And are your actions still in vain?

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
