lyrics
So much pain we
Don't know how to be but angry
Feel infected like we got gangrene
Please don't let anybody try to change me
Me
Just me
In the middle of a sea full of faces
Full of faces
Some laugh, some salivate
What's in your alleyway
Recycling bins or bullet cases
It's not equal
It's not fair
We're different people
But we're not scared
We ain't never scared
To pave a new path
Make a new street
Build a new bridge
Say can you see by the dawns early light
Free slaves running
Songs words weren't right
Now a new day's coming
The few stay stunning, while the many are handsome
Your soul is alive, but they want it for ransom
The base drumming is the anthem
We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
And

Lost hope and found need
Grounded by our surroundings
Did the walls scream universities
Or you and I verse the tees
React automatic and we burst when squeezed
And make 9-11 each emergency
Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
Oh please let the hurting cease
Don't let apathy police the populace
We will march across
Those stereotypes that were marked for us
The answers obvious
We switch the consonants and
Change the sword to words and lift continents

Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise

Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise, together we
Rise

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension (from another dimension)
(Rise)

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension (from another dimension)
(Rise)

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension (from another dimension)
(Rise)

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension (from another dimension)
(Rise)

Wow! There's so much that I like here that I think I'll sit down, have a cup of tea, and watch this a few times as I comment. :-)

First off, I think the Flobots, BSG, and you are a great match! My first reactions and the images that stay with me are Helo lifting Hera on the lyric "Rise," which is kind of echoed later with Adama carrying Roslin on Earth 2. Then there is Ellen rising from the tank and the quick montage (I love montages!) at minute 1:53 and the slow, quiet part at minutes 2:07 - 2:16. This is one of the best post-finale vids I've seen. It just reminds me well of why I loved this show so much. I also like the hugs at the end too.

You told so much story in three and a half minutes! And it also gives us, the fans . . . good-bye. Thanks so much for sharing this. I will keep watching it and finding terrific moments like that pan at the end from Ellen to Leoben or the way the camera pans around Felix's face during the mutiny arc. Just great! I'm glad that this is a series! That means there will be more!

Sadly, I can't get into tea. I've tried many times, but I can't seem to finish a single cup of tea. That was random.

I've said it before, but I think The Flobots are the voice of BSG. Every song can fit so well with the show. I have other vid ideas for their album and there are other BSG vids to them out there.

I was trying to be subtle and obvious with the lyric interpretations at the same time. I'm not sure if I pulled off what I wanted to do. I don't think I can adequately judge it for a while.

Thanks!
