Rise Against mit neuem Video zu „Help is on the way“

Seit einigen Tagen schon ist das neue Video zu „Help is on the way“ aus dem neue Album „Endgame“ erschienen. In diesem Video geht es um eine Familie die sich vor einer Überschwemmung rettet. Es ist zu vermuten das Rise Against  versucht die Ereignisse vom 29. August 2005 zu Thematisieren. Damals kam Hurrikan „Katrina“ über New Orleans und nach dem Bruch eines Dammes sind weite Teile von New Orleans überflutet wurden. Die Regierung half den Opfern erst sehr spät.

Die Thematik dass die Welt zu „Ende“ geht zieht sich durch das Ganze Album. Es spricht hier z.b. über New Orleans oder auch über die Aktuellen Kriege und wie weit es noch geht. Sind wir mal gespannt was da noch an Videos kommt.

Und nun habe ich das Video für euch und die Lyrics.

Rise Against -- Help Is On The Way - MyVideo

LYRICS:

I have my mothers dreams
I have my fathers eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
Watch giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning
The cypress has died
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(they said they said)
Help is on the way
(they said they said)
Hold my hand, to help see
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You cant take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline
With hands in the air
Her words pierce the dark light
Does anyone care
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(they said they said)
Help is on they way
(they said they said)
One by land two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right there
Right there (x3)
Choking on the black gold
Upon which we rely
We keep axes in the attics
To see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way
(they said they said)
Help is on they way
(they said they said)
We were told just to sit tight
Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came
Help is on the way
(they said they said)
Help is on they way
(they said they said)
Hold my hand, to help see
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
On the way
