Rise Up (Drowning Pool Smackdown Theme)
WWF Superstars · WWE The Music Volume 6 ThemeAddict [2004]
As long as it takes to get what's rightfully mine
And I won't be denied
Cuz all I've got left is my pride
And I will rise up
Break it out
Break you down
Breakin' rules
Breakin' ground
Had your chance
Now it's gone
All you take
A new dawn
A new dawn
And I will sit right here and I will wait
Patiently for your last big mistake
And I won't be denied
Cuz all I've got left is my pride
And I will rise up
Break it out
Break you down
Breakin' rules
Breakin' ground
Had your chance
Now it's gone
All you take
AlA new dawn
I control
My own fate
And for you
It's too late
It's my dream
It's my way
It's my life
It's your pain
And I won't be denied
Cuz all I've got left is my pride
And I will rise up
Break it out
Break you down
Breakin' rules
Breakin' ground
Had your chance
Now it's gone
All you take
A new dawn
And I won't be denied
Break it out
Break you down
Breakin' rules
Breakin' ground
Had your chance
Now it's gone
All you take
A new dawn
Break it out
Break you down
Breakin' rules
Breakin' ground
Had your chance
Now it's gone
A new dawn
Rise Up (Drowning Pool Smackdown Theme)
This track serves as the signature theme for the Smackdown brand during its early WWE programming, featuring a high-energy rock arrangement that defined the show's aggressive aesthetic in the mid-2000s. While officially credited to the WWF Superstars, the composition draws heavily from the sound of Drowning Pool, a prominent nu-metal band whose style resonated with the wrestling promotion's target demographic. The recording captures the raw, driving guitar riffs and shouted vocals characteristic of the genre, creating an auditory backdrop that amplified the intensity of matches and storylines. Released as part of WWE The Music Volume 6 ThemeAddict, the song exemplifies the era's fusion of professional wrestling entertainment with mainstream rock music, becoming an iconic audio symbol for the Smackdown brand's identity during its formative years.
