Every waking day... I fall between the lines of decay. [Distorted vocal echo R40] I wait until the moon starts to rise... To see where the old me dies. Look in the mirror, see the ghost of the past Traverse the cold craters just to find where I last Could lay down my head in the dust and the ash Suffocated by the silence and the weight of the crash! Every tick of the clock, every breath that I take Brings me one day closer to the bonds that I break I’ve been buried alive in the shadows I made Counting the scars from the debts that I paid! I won’t sleep in the dark anymore! I hear the thunder pounding at my door! Every day that I wake pulls me out of the grave— I am no longer the prisoner you thought you could save! NO MORE WILL I HIDE IN MY DECAY! I WILL RISE LIKE THIS CELESTIAL ROCK! Standing against the decay, wreckage of this shock! (Rise up! Rise up!) I will build upon its cratered face, A fortress of bleached bone in an endless space! Every waking day, through the fire and the grey— I will stand before the creator’s face! Ash on my skin, but the venom is gone Built from the wreckage of what went wrong You left me for dead on a barren terrain Now I’m turning the surface to kingdom and reign! Look at the skyline, look at the cracks No turning around, there is no going back I made my peace with the fall and the dirt Now watch me forge armor right out of the hurt! Every sunrise is sharpening the blade! ( OUT OF THE SHADE!) Look at the monument that I have made! I am standing my ground on the edge of the sky— Watch as the dying learn how to fly! NO MORE WILL I HIDE IN MY DECAY! I WILL RISE LIKE THIS CELESTIAL ROCK! Standing against the decay, wreckage of this shock! (Rise up! Rise up!) I will build upon its cratered face, A fortress of bleached bone in an endless space! Every waking day, through the fire and the grey— I will stand before the creator’s face! SURROUNDED BY ASH! BURIED UNDER THE CRATERS! You thought the decay would consume who I am?! NOW WATCH ME CONQUER THE PROMISED LAND! BLEACHED BONE FORTRESS! (BLEACHED! BONE! FORTRESS!} NO MORE WILL I HIDE IN MY DECAY! I WILL RISE LIKE THIS CELESTIAL ROCK! (I WILL RISE!) Unbroken by the wreckage and the shock! I will build upon its cratered face, A fortress of bleached bone in an endless space! EVERY WAKING DAY, THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE GREY I MAKE MY PEACE, I AM THE CREATOR'S FACE! Cover me with its ash... No more decay. I have risen.
