I just came out from the room.
I saw the rising of the moon.
This ain`t no ordinary night.
Looked to my left, looked to my right.
I felt the chill down to my bones.
I must have dreamed this once before.
Glanced at the pictures on the walls.
I saw my reflections in the glass.
And as I walked down the hall
I said to myself, It`s got to be
The rise of the animal.
C`mon, get it up.
The rise of the animal.
In the streets, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal.
It`s just got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
In me.
I thought I heard the crowd scream.
As I recalled a childhood dream.
I saw myself as I stand.
Caught with the axe in my hand.
Then I was pushed out on the stage.
And the crowd became a state of rage.
I tripped, I fell down to one knee.
I said to myself, It`s got to be
The rise of the animal.
C`mon, get it up.
The rise of the animal.
In the streets, uh!
The rise of the animal.
It`s just got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
In me.
-solo-
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
It`s got to be, uh-huh.
The rise of the animal
in me.
The rise of the animal.
The rise of the animal.
