Lyrics for "The Rising"

Wake up to the smell of

Death in the air

The devil of your nightmares

Returned to pay the fare

Scars on the cross

The emblem blazing higher

The ground, swallowed in

The pit of the fire

(chorus)

RISING! FROM THE ASHES!

Of a damned unholy race

THE ONES! WHO WILL DECIDE NOW!

Our bitter hopeless fate

Buried in the hour glass

Never to return again

The prophecy's fullfillment

Written in the sand

Still, on we go

Marching into the flames

The cowards push us onward

Farther beyond beyond the remains

(chorus)

RISING! FROM THE ASHES!

Of a damned unholy race

THE ONES! WHO WILL DECIDE NOW!

Our bitter hopeless fate

Fear......sympathy......

Be wary, of this new….world

FLOWERS! OF POISON!

Bloom miles in the air

The devil is back now

He's returned to pay the fare

(repeat 2x)
