“Rip ‘Em Up” is a song about the third-person shooter game series Gears of War. The song details what players might see while they kill their ravenous enemies in these games.
This song was reworked from a scrapped instrumental in 2008 titled “Falling,” when Will Ryan was still in the band Onyx Colo...
[Intro]
Go!
[Verse 1]
Now break me, torment me
You took away the binding chain
That kept us with our innocence
They bled dry, we now rise
We take back everything
The cogs heavy muscle will relive their lives
Before the tortured cries
[Pre-Chorus]
For every time that we spent in the cracks
The locusts will return with fire
So let our arms be binded by the courage
To take their immortal souls and fire
[Chorus]
Die at the heels of the devil, bless the souls of the rebels
Hope to God they burn alive before we rip them up
Turn the wheels that repel us, take it to another level
Hope to God they fall back down so you can rip them up
[Post-Chorus]
You show no remorse
Believe in the force
And redeem your war cry
[Interlude]
Please find the time to remember those who fought for peace
Please find the time to rid this land of their disease
Please refine what it meant to live on mortal land
Kill their crimes with brutal madness in the masses
[Breakdown]
Shut the fuck up, rip the fuck up
Tear them up with your wielded chainsaw
Shut the fuck up, turn the fuck up
Show them no defeat
Now twist the fuck up, buck the fuck up
Feel the blood drip from your hands now
Witness everything around you turn towards the light
[Pre-Chorus]
For the time that we spent in the cracks
The locusts will return with fire
So let our arms be binded by the courage
To take their immortal souls and fire
[Chorus]
Die at the heels of the devil, bless the souls of the rebels
Hope to God they burn alive before we rip them up
Turn the wheels that repel us, take it to another level
Hope to God they fall back down so you can rip them up
[Post-Chorus]
You show no remorse
Believe in the force
And redeem your war cry
[Bridge]
(Are you ready?)
Now fire, blow them all up
Sit back down, take it one bullet at a time
Now fire, pull out all the shots
Shine your gun all the way to freedom
Now fire, blow them all up
Sit back down, take it one bullet at a time
Now fire, pull out all the shots
Shine your gun all the way to freedom
[Chorus]
Die at the heels of the devil, bless the souls of the rebels
Hope to God they burn alive before we rip them up
Turn the wheels that repel us, take it to another level
Hope to God they fall back down so you can rip them up
[Post-Chorus]
You show no remorse
Believe in the force
And redeem your war cry
[Outro]
Now fire, blow them all up
Sit back down, take it one bullet at a time
Now fire, pull out all the shots
Shine your gun all the way to freedom
