We'll Rise

They tied us to the stake and called it law Taught us to smile through the chains we saw Fingers point Flames rise They laugh as we fall But we’re not ash yet We’re the spark after all Tear the curtain Watch it ignite Shadows tremble in the light Burn the witches Burn the lies Burn the patriarchy Watch it die We’ll rise We’ll rise From the ashes of their cries They build their thrones on the bones they deny Preach silence while we scream at the sky We’re not their dolls Their rules Their design We’re the storm they can't define Rip the pages Rewrite the sound Their towers crumble to the ground Burn the witches Burn the lies Burn the patriarchy Watch it die We’ll rise We’ll rise From the ashes of their cries
