Dead But Rising

Dear wind of Mississippi can you call him by name

I have followed his wings on a sunny day

I like to believe he's the chosen one

I like to believe he's the fallen one

Dead but rising

I raise the fist with power and fate

and wishing that his claws will grab on to my hand

I like to believe he's the chosen one

I like to believe he's the fallen one

Dead but rising

I have been to the end of waters

I have been to the end of earth

I've been over mountains and riding the storms

dear son your words have reached me

and for that I can carry on

I'll guide you in spirit

today I'll be home

I like to believe he's the chosen one

I like to believe he's the fallen one

the rebirth of man heals a bleeding heart

the eagle of kings wears my fathers soul

Dead but rising
