Public Image Ltd, Rise

Public Image Ltd, Rise
"Rise" is a single released by Post-Punk group Public Image Ltd in 1986. It was the first single from their fifth studio album "Album"
The song was written by John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten and Bill Laswell about apartheid in South Africa, specifically about Nelson Mandela as Lydon stated in a 2013 Glastonbury interview.
Lydon also referred to alleged Royal Ulster Constabulary interrogation techniques, such as electric torture, in an MTV interview in 1987.
It was one of the group's biggest commercial hits, peaking at #11 on the UK Singles Chart. The song contains the phrase 'may the road rise with you', which is a direct translation of the old Irish blessing "go n-éirí an bóthar leat" (usually translated as "may the road rise up to meet you"). The phrase "anger is an energy" became the title of Lydon's 2014 autobiography.
Following Lydon's departure from the Sex Pistols in January 1978, Lydon sought a more experimental "anti-rock" project and formed Public Image Ltd (PIL)
