the pine box boys - rise lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i woke before the sun
i could not stay in bed
went down to the graveyard
to visit with the dead
the earth began to tremble
the ground began to cave
the christian dead
rising from their graves

[chorus]
“i’m gonna rise, rise, say my last goodbyes
brush the earth off my coat, shoo away the flies
i’m gonna rise, rise, shed these mortal ties
rise again, never more to die
never more to die.”

[verse 2]
they gathered all around me
and pressed against my form
flesh falling off their bones
crawling all with worms
a light glowed within them
that settled all my fears
they raised a voice
and this is what i heared

[chorus]
“we’re gonna rise, rise, say our last goodbyes
brush the earth off our coats, and shoo away the flies
we’re gonna rise, rise, shed these mortal ties
rise again, never more to die
never more to die.”

[verse 3]
i was humbled there amongst them
said, “may i go with thee?”
said, “sonny when the flesh is gone
the spirit will be free
stay amongst the living
and guide them on their way
be kind to them
and patient for the day…

[chorus]
…you’re gonna rise, rise, say your last goodbyes
brush the earth off your coat, and shoo away the flies
you’re gonna rise, rise, shed these mortal ties
rise again, never more to die
never more to die.”
