Fire is waking, it's beneath my skin Smashing the cage up, that I'm living in Feeling it burning, it crawls within The shadows move, won't give in Youth turning to dust in shattered light It's lost and driftin' 'round into the night Truth is buried down out of sight Still I rise, I make my stand Whispered lies, they feed on the control Replacing soul, strip the voice You better break the chain on your neck Built from ashes, I won't decay, not a bit Open these eyes, fist in air And feelin' come back of flame Silence the void Tear through the dark Revealing truth Time is here Rise up strong again No fear, no shame, stand tall Storm is awaking, it's beneath my skin Ripping the veil that I'm hiding in Now I can see the light break inside The voices scream, won't give in Hope drowning and choking in silent cries Time wasted too long in the hollow ties Thunder is striking down from the skies Still I rise, I make my stand Hands from the dark, they pull me back, won't let go A painted smiles in attack You better break the chain on your neck Domination, I won't obey anymore Heartbeat is loud, grip is tight And feelin' come back of flame Oh oh oh Flame is coming back, stand tall
