Lyrics
I told you I’d rise up
You’d be mistaken if you thought I was gone
Cause I’ve been waiting for this moment too long (Whoa)
Just to see the worry in your eyes
I bet you thought that I had fallen away
It never crossed your mind that there’d be a day (whoa)
I’d return to look you in the eyes
Don’t pray for me, You said there’s no hope in forgiving
Your happy to just leave me for the dead
Well time has passed I’m very much the living
And all that’s left is to leave you seeing red
So when you think you’ve got me by a thread
You need think again
Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I’d rise up.
I don’t believe that you have got any soul
You’re just a breed of your own kind all alone (Whoa)
An architect of your own decline
Nothing’s sacred anymore that’s the past
Its falling further even more out of grasp (Whoa)
You’re replaced and running out of time
No prayers from me, you see I’m not the one you think will
Just let it go and leave it all behind
You’re dead to me and I don’t even feel guilt
Just take a look cause it’s time for me to rise
So when you think you’ve got me by a thread
You need think again
Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I’d rise up.
I don’t want to close my eyes
I can never get enough
Like the sun it’s time that I rise up
So when you think you’ve got me by a thread
You need think again
Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I’d rise up.
