"Rise Up" 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 oh)
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 oh)
I'd return to look into your eyes

Don't pray for me
You said there's no hope in forgiving
You're 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 to think again
Cause I know you never thought 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 oh)
An architect of your own decline (your own decline)
Nothing's sacred anymore that's the past
It's falling further even more out of grasp (whoa oh)
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 to think again
Cause I know you never thought this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

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 to think again
Cause I know you never thought this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I told you I'd rise up
I told you I'd rise up
