[Verse 1]
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 a chill down to my bones
I must have dreamed this once before
Glanced at the pictures on the wall
I saw my reflection in the glass
And as I walked down the hall
I said to myself, "It's got to be"
[Chorus]
The rise of the animal
Come on, 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
[Verse 2]
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
Said to myself, "It's got to be"
[Chorus]
The rise of the animal
Come on, get it up
The rise of the animal
In the streets, ooh
The rise of the animal
It's got to be, uh-huh
The rise of the animal in me
[Outro]
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
