Embers Rise

I’ve walked the coiling lines

Set back a hundred times

Winding through worlds of weary kings

(Once more to the first)

Another crumbling hall

Another humbling fall

Once more the mourning bells will ring

But I won’t be kept down

I’ll just keep on rising

Failure ever fading

Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down

Embers keep igniting

Suns will sink to shade

But always rise again

I’ve been a ghost of flame

A fading fire to claim

Lost in a world of aching shame

But I won’t be kept down

I’ll just keep on rising

Failure ever fading

Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down

Embers keep igniting

Suns will sink to shade

But always rise again

Look to the sun

Hollow is the curse

Now the end has begun

Once more to the first

Look to the sun

Hollow is the curse

Beaten back, overrun

But I won’t be kept down

I’ll just keep on rising

Failure ever fading

Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down

Embers keep igniting

Suns will sink to shade

But always rise again
