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
