[00:00.151] |
|
[00:01.173] |
Beyond the ocean |
[00:06.270] |
A lighthouse is waiting for me |
[00:11.339] |
The Great Chain in motion |
[00:16.739] |
Beneath the waves of the sea |
[00:20.660] |
Into the city |
[00:23.239] |
All good things flow |
[00:25.434] |
The sweat on your brow |
[00:27.882] |
Is what you reap and sow |
[00:30.517] |
Forge your own fortune |
[00:32.978] |
From salt and from sand |
[00:35.714] |
No gods or kings |
[00:39.788] |
Only man |
[00:41.871] |
|
[00:42.012] |
Folks told me, son, you won the gene pool |
[00:43.965] |
So I guess I had a head start on these fools |
[00:46.543] |
Doesn't take a Winter Blast for Jack to keep cool |
[00:49.087] |
But isolation in the deep blue can be cruel |
[00:51.668] |
I descend the depths fathom by fathom |
[00:53.826] |
As if the ocean opened up and I've been cast in a chasm |
[00:56.352] |
Upon a sweeping seascape, genetic accidents happened |
[00:58.855] |
But don't blame EVE, the cause of the fall had to be ADAM |
[01:01.676] |
If you believe the sweat of your brow oughtta be yours |
[01:04.017] |
Listen to Andrew Ryan, the philosophical entrepreneur |
[01:06.741] |
He might've put me on blast, but I'll get past his thugs |
[01:09.457] |
I asked who Fontaine was, and Atlas Shrugged |
[01:12.278] |
Welcome to Rapture, where you can manufacture |
[01:14.445] |
Evolution: natural selection's happening faster |
[01:17.070] |
Were you shocked when I said I was nothing less than electric |
[01:19.689] |
This city's dead but I bet that I can resurrect it |
[01:22.563] |
An engine never rests in Hephaestus |
[01:24.806] |
Like a Lazarus Vector, giving breath to the breathless |
[01:27.418] |
(Gasp) |
[01:28.127] |
I'm getting quite dependent on medkits |
[01:30.083] |
I just met a demented doctor obsessed with perfection |
[01:32.405] |
You promised me pretty, Steinman, why did I get this? |
[01:35.306] |
I treated your ugliness like an infection! |
[01:37.907] |
That's why I took a wrench when I went to the dentist |
[01:40.399] |
And my smile was dazzlin' after bashin' his head in |
[01:43.025] |
Collectin' weapons, makin' effective inventions |
[01:45.418] |
I'll make you vanish like Houdini |
[01:46.825] |
When I pump lead in you Leadheads |
[01:48.076] |
I call it artwork, want it censored? Forget it |
[01:50.413] |
I got a killer's disposition, I guess it's genetic |
[01:53.525] |
Death is a choice that I rejected! |
[01:55.770] |
|
[01:56.200] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[02:00.962] |
We turn our hopes up to the skies |
[02:06.418] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[02:10.857] |
We'll go down with our sinking paradise |
[02:15.821] |
|
[02:16.527] |
Roll up my sleeves, so blood will not get on'em |
[02:19.403] |
These shackles remind me I started from the bottom |
[02:21.900] |
Hello little fish, have you had your cherry popped? |
[02:24.529] |
I'm a grown man, damnit, I ain't scared of shots |
[02:26.652] |
Shots shots shots shots now my veins are on fire |
[02:29.369] |
Rearrangin' DNA? Sounds like playing with fire |
[02:32.192] |
Sciences are practiced with a lack of moral guidance |
[02:34.725] |
Splicers seek to satisfy their sick sadistic vices |
[02:37.248] |
Victims become villains, angry vandals turn to violence |
[02:39.878] |
Sickly children sticking by their less than gentle giants |
[02:42.477] |
Minds manipulated by the parasite inside'em |
[02:44.926] |
But if you're a parasite in Ryan's eyes, you're put to silence |
[02:47.685] |
The great and strong will not yield to the weak and feeble |
[02:50.193] |
Better change your DNA if you'd like to fight as equals |
[02:52.750] |
Harvest ADAM, feed on EVE, it doesn't make me evil |
[02:55.039] |
Because my survival rides on getting Power to the People |
[02:57.680] |
|
[02:57.967] |
Dozens of desperate denizens deal with deprivation |
[03:00.476] |
But let's be fair, laissez-faire, forget the regulations |
[03:03.059] |
This economy's perfectly working without you |
[03:05.405] |
Now let me fill my craving at the Circus of Values |
[03:08.228] |
Drawn to this city, like a moth to a flame |
[03:10.507] |
Fallin' from grace, swallowed by a watery grave |
[03:13.194] |
Now I'll frolic on this stage, I'm a part in a play |
[03:15.624] |
Like I was nothing but a puppet, just a pawn in the game |
[03:18.610] |
Lookin' for something to set me apart from a slave |
[03:20.834] |
|
[03:21.051] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[03:26.024] |
We turn our hopes up to the skies |
[03:31.456] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[03:35.921] |
We'll go down with our sinking paradise |
[03:41.247] |
|
[03:41.690] |
RISE |
[03:42.482] |
|
[03:43.204] |
Rapture is bleeding through cracks that are leaking |
[03:48.244] |
Dwindling memories tell secrets they're keeping |
[03:53.411] |
Demons disguised by benign masquerades |
[03:58.494] |
Angels climb out of their graves |
[04:01.723] |
|
[04:02.330] |
Mind over matter is the practice I'm preachin' |
[04:04.835] |
How else could I achieve feats of telekinesis |
[04:07.437] |
And I'm an expert at hacking past your defense |
[04:09.683] |
Then I'll attack you like a swarm from a hornet nest |
[04:12.093] |
(Buzz off!) |
[04:12.862] |
The Gatherer's Garden ain't runnin' short of guests |
[04:14.902] |
I've been cleaning'em out, I can afford the best |
[04:17.386] |
Hey! |
[04:17.842] |
Do you wish your waist was slimmer? |
[04:19.139] |
(Yes!) |
[04:19.374] |
Or your chin was chiseled more? |
[04:20.376] |
(Huh?) |
[04:20.580] |
Careful, vanity could send us into civil war |
[04:23.161] |
In a utopia, who's gonna wanna scrub the toilets? |
[04:25.480] |
The people in Apollo Square got no other choices |
[04:28.139] |
I know how this is gonna end, but I don't wanna spoil it |
[04:30.732] |
You try to seize my city? Time that I destroy it! |
[04:33.565] |
Just relax, Big Daddy, I command ya |
[04:36.002] |
Strike a pose, smile for the camera |
[04:38.586] |
I think objectively, just like Ayn Rand does |
[04:41.204] |
Attention: will the real Fontaine stand up? |
[04:43.861] |
A man chooses, unlike a slave |
[04:46.238] |
Who never strays from the path that his master paves |
[04:48.847] |
Follows every order and does everything they say |
[04:51.407] |
Now Would You Kindly... OBEY? |
[04:53.985] |
OBEY (x8) |
[05:04.144] |
|
[05:04.327] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[05:08.879] |
We turn our hopes up to the skies |
[05:14.765] |
Rise, Rapture, rise |
[05:19.199] |
We'll go down with our sinking paradise |
[05:24.465] |
|
[05:25.753] |
My city is thriving |
[05:30.738] |
Your allies- choose them wisely |
[05:35.855] |
Our Rapture is rising |
[05:40.837] |
Stand with us, Would You Kindly? |
[05:45.770] |
RISE |
[05:46.294] |
|
