Alternative CCM rockers Skillet formed in Memphis, TN, around the nucleus of lead singer and bassist John Cooper, guitarist Ken Steorts, and drummer Trey McClurkin. Debuting in 1996 with a self-titled LP, the trio returned two years later with Hey You, I Love Your Soul. Invincible followed in early 2000, and the group contributed three tracks to the Ardent Worship: Skillet Live compilation that same year. With a new lineup of Cooper on bass and lead vocals, his wife Korey Cooper on guitar and keyboards, Ben Kasica on guitar, and Lori Peters on drums, Skillet released Alien Youth on Ardent Records in 2001, followed by Collide, also on Ardent, in 2003. The latter album was then picked up by Lava/Atlantic and reissued the following year with a bonus track. Collide went on to be the band's best-selling album to date (even earning them a Grammy nomination), and the band supported the record on tours with bands like Saliva and Shinedown. Skillet's next effort for the label, Comatose, appeared in fall 2006, followed by Awake in 2009. ~ Jason Ankeny & Steve Leggett, Rovi

Rise lyrics
All I see is
Shattered pieces
I can't keep it hidden like a secret
I can't look away!
From all this pain in a world we made!
Everyday you need
A bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess!
Am I safe today?
When I step outside in the wars we wage!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight, we rise!
Rise.
Tonight, we rise
Rise.
Tonight, we rise!
Like a hand grenade,
Thrown in a hurricane,
Spinning in chaos,
Trying to escape the flame,
Yesterday is gone!
Faster than the blast of a car bomb!
And when the scars heal,
The pain passes,
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes!
Darkness fades away!
And a light shines on a brave new day!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight, we rise!
Rise.
Tonight, we rise
Rise.
Tonight, we rise!
In a world gone mad,
In a place so sad!
Sometimes it's crazy
To fight for what you believe!
But you can't give up,
If you wanna keep what you love!
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
Never give up, no!
Rise.
Rise and revolution
Rise.
Rise and revolution
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call!
Rise
Like we're alive
Tonight, we rise
Make a better life
Tonight, we rise!
Rise, rise, rise and revolution
Rise, rise, rise and revolution
Rise.

*News reporter*: We are getting reports from all around the globe, showing
The highest unemployment rates since the end of World War II. Many are
Losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases, their hope.
*Upset parent*: You are such a failure! What is wrong with you? You can't
Do anything right! I wish you had never been born!
