new london fire - rise lyrics
[verse 1]
well my father told me stories
of the prophets in the mines
how we rose from smoke and ashes
left the best of him behind
now i feel my body’s breaking
‘neath the hunger, i could steal
the good that’s somewhere waiting
i got nothing left to feel
i got nothing left to feel
[chorus]
i will rise
i will rise
and i’ll take them out before i close my eyes
[verse 2]
saw the lights got distant
through the haze in my own mind
it appeared out from the window
to the son we left behind
i will offer my own body
just to feed us in this land
i’ll lay down my youth and glory
until one day we stand
[chorus]
and i’ll rise
and i’ll rise
and i’ll rise
and i’ll rise
and i’ll take you with me when i say goodbye
[verse 3]
so i’ll tell my son the story
of how his father rose
to stand above the violence
through the hunger and the cold
then he will fight to challenge
what we could not overcome
how we took our place in shadows
in the black smoke and the guns
in the black smoke and the guns
[chorus]
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
son you’ll rise
and i’ll be waiting for you when you die
