My Turn to Rise

Sunrise
A new dawn
The old me
Is finally gone
And I don't care
Where the lines have been drawn
Here's your horizon
And I'm the rising son

Look around, my site of rebirth
Seems someone brought hell to earth
Craters here, was that from me?
When I turned on my symphony
Look at me now, eyes on the crown, don't turn your nose at me
Wondering how, out of the ground, no more Eurydice
I'll take a bow, turn it around, it's time to change the key
I'm back for now, forever free

Father, what do you think of me now?
Another soldier with his heart torn out
The sun can try and burn me now
But it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to rise

Brother, why don't you take my hand
Take a look at the promise land
I think it's time that we start again
Now it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to rise

Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise

Looking on at this desecration
I see I was your inspiration
Towers rising, just like last time
Foundations built on your crime
Oh, what sight, you're trying to write your own symphony
Know you can fight, but you deny that you're afraid of me
The blinding lights, hiding your fright. What do you offer me?
I do not need your charity

Father, what do you think of me now?
Another soldier with his heart torn out
The sun can try and burn me now
But it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to rise

Brother, why don't you take my hand
Take a look at the promise land
I think it's time that we start again
Now it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to Rise

Icarus can fly the race
But he'll always be
In second place (again, and again, and again, and again)
Theseus, your story's old
You dare defy?
Don't be so bold (Again, and again, and again, and again)
Thanatos, with broken wings
Don't you dare abandon me! (Again, and again, and again, and again)
This Orpheus has done the act
They can never take her back
From me! (Again, and again, and again, and again)

Father, what do you think of me now?
Another soldier with his heart burned out
The sun can try and burn me now
But it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to rise

Brother, why don't you take my hand
Take a look at the promise land
I think it's time that we start again
Now it's my turn to rise
It's my turn to rise

Rise
