Rise (feat. Skylar Grey) Lyrics

You can take a swing at my ego
You can make a run for my crown
Even with an army of people
You ain't gonna take us down

You can aim your evil right at us
You can drop your bombs on the ground
Even if your stare makes me nervous
You ain't gonna take us down

There'll be no need for crying
If darkness fills the skies
We'll go on forever like the phoenix
We will rise up from the ashes
This world is ours tonight
We'll go on forever like the phoenix
We will rise
We will rise

You can take a swing at my ego,
You can make a run for my crown
Even with an army of people
You ain't gonna take us down

You can aim your evil right at us
You can drop your bombs on the ground
Even if your stare makes me nervous
You ain't gonna take us down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well, it looks like I'm the first person to comment. I heard this song in a trailer for wrestlemania 31.

I also heard this from the Wrestlemania 31 trailer. Looking at the lyrics, it sounds like the biblical rapture. Talking about rising up, like into heaven, or "You can make a run for my crown Even with an army of people You ain't gonna take us down" is like satan failing to take down Jesus in the end of days. "There'll be no need for crying If darkness fills the skies" is like no need to cry because once he returns it will be a dark time but if you have given him your life, you are going to a better place. There are many other lyrics in the song that make me feel like its about the rapture, and if it's not, then it just is a coincidence. Oh well haha.
