From the ruins of this battered Empire
Fanning flames of your cities on fire
We brought your end, now we bring the new dawn
To make things how they should be all along...
(Chorus)
From your wreckage, now we come to life
Bathed in fire, wrapped in sheets of ice
We bring shadows to blot out all your light
In the wake of your burning dreams, we rise
From the shadows we crawl into your skull
Hopes and dreams and efforts all annull
Fell with me into the gathering dark
While we exploit the weakness of your heart
(Chorus)
From your wreckage, now we come to life
Bathed in fire, wrapped in sheets of ice
We bring shadows to blot out all your light
In the wake of your burning dreams, we rise
Finger on the trigger as this escalates
Pull the pins on all of your grenades
Explosions rock you back onto your heels
Now before the darkness scream and kneel
(Chorus)
From your wreckage, now we come to life
Bathed in fire, wrapped in sheets of ice
We bring shadows to blot out all your light
In the wake of your burning dreams, we rise
We rise from the echoes of your rage
Claw up the loose earth of your grave
We rise! The time has come tonight
Come on! Leap into the fight
Stand up! Reap what we now sow
Get up! Take my hand, for we must go....
Step forward, now we come alive
Cities glimmer far into the night
Our new dawn has finally arrived
Dreams born from the ashes of the fight
(Chorus)
From your wreckage, now we come to life
Bathed in fire, wrapped in sheets of ice
We bring shadows to blot out all your light
In the wake of your burning dreams, we rise.

- Title: 'We Rise'
- Artist: Kjeldoran0
- Description: Just a little song I came up with while I was bored in Psychology class. Inspired very heavily by Rise Against's 'Re-Education (Thorugh Labor)' but, I assure you, original.
