Rise

Awaken the city of sin
Full of torment and agony
People molder away
In the war-torn streets
Hear their cries

The reaper has built himself a throne
On the roads of souls and bones
In the kingdom of sorrow

As the night falls over me
Breathe into my body new life
Shadows plague my journey
Now it's time to rise

A vision I long to restore
Through the ashes of those before
I found my way
Through eternal rite
In the sky

Harrowing village that never sleeps
Luring victims with mystique
Held captive by their grief

As the night falls over me
Breathe into my body new life
Shadows plague my journey
Now it's time to rise

Walls tremble around me
And the earth cries out my name
Save them from suffering
Set them free again

Oh creator you know why
Doubts intruding in my mind
Turn my fear into belief
Your will achieved

As the night falls over me
Breathe into my body new life
I await my journey
Let freedom thrive

Dear God watch over me
Let the spirits come to life
In a world of glory
Now it's time to rise
