[Verse 1] Hold me in the dark Where the banners folded low I can hear your name In the river down below Cold on the stone steps Boots alone in the rain I stood at the gate And I called you again [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the sky bent down Over all we tried Still I kept your scar Like a flame inside [Chorus] Rise, my lord, rise Carry my grief high Rise, my lord, rise Let the whole world cry I am still here Under broken gold Rise, my lord, rise For the ones we lost [Verse 2] Dust on the altar Ash in the cedar beams I wore your silence Like a thread in my sleeve Every empty hall Kept your shadow near I could taste the years When the crowd disappeared [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the sky bent down Over all we tried Still I kept your scar Like a flame inside [Chorus] Rise, my lord, rise Carry my grief high Rise, my lord, rise Let the whole world cry I am still here Under broken gold Rise, my lord, rise For the ones we lost [Bridge] If I fade tonight Let the stone remember One weak heart Trying to stay together One last breath Through the iron air Take my sorrow Lay it there [Final Chorus] Rise, my lord, rise Carry my grief high Rise, my lord, rise Let the whole world cry I am still here Under broken gold Rise, my lord, rise For the ones we lost Rise, my lord, rise Till the dawn breaks through Rise, my lord, rise I will sing for you
