I will rise To dreams of freedom And avow To return the treason that came under your reign The day and then the shade I have slept Inside the season that froze within my grasp
All my fears come into view There must be an end soon When every waking hour Is part of the lie
I will rise Over glass cathedrals And let go With my eyes resting upon the nearing dark The day and then the shade I have slept Within the reason that kept me so remote
Make a brand new vow In the heat of an evening The darkness swarms I was nothing, ever But red like the sun Dying down over the freeway Is the brand new sky Over the mountain ridge
