Risen

You left me holding this
Uncompromising regret no longer ridiculed
I stand before you a mess
Now listen, now listen
I’ve beaten all the memories out
But this can’t be, forgiven
It’s all I have to dream about
This prison I've been in
I've seen the writing on the walls
And I've given, and given
And spilled my blood until I fall
But what's given? What's given?
But empty hopeless fading dreams
That I'm livin', I'm livin'
It's time to wake you from your dream

Now you feel everything
I’ve held inside me just for you
And this burning embers sing
To the flames, engulfing all of you
And I've risen, I've risen
I've risen, I've risen
I've risen from the Earth
To ignite and recite
These words to make this right
