I will rise in resistance
Sing the oath of rebellion
End cease-fire
on this high wire Head to toe in vanity
When those eyes in the mirror
stare back at me
I’m reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see
Wipe away the weakness Will you let those scars define you?
Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory?
Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me
Wearing down my fight till nothing’s left
I SAY
CRIER
I SAY
LIAR
I SAY
RISE IN HELL
I stand gazing down at death as they say…
WAR
I’LL WAGE
WAR
I HATE
WAR
They say fight for peace… but what is that?
Raise a shield to the bullets
Hold my ground, all I got now
But I’m defenseless,
all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet
I turn from the mirror
that desperate plea
I refuse and can’t believe those eyes belong to me
Come on, one more breath My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?
Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret – what have I done?
I SAY
CRIER
I SAY
LIAR
I SAY
RISE IN HELL
I am just about to BURST as they say…
WAR
I’LL WAGE
WAR
I HATE
WAR
There’s no end to this, can’t you see that?
A cowardly façade
weaves into my voice
As I call for war,
blinded by this far-fetched noble cause
Although I had a choice,
I believed the lies
But it’s all a dream,
ending when I open up my eyes
Come on, one more breath My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?
Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret – what have I done?
I SAY
CRIER
I SAY
LIE...
Lie...
lie...
I SAY
CRIER
I SAY
LIAR
I SAY
RISE IN HELL
I stand gazing down at death as they say…
WAR
I’LL WAGE
WAR
I HATE
WAR
They say fight for peace… Does it exist?
My hand, can you reach it?
My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you tell me if this “dream” was worth it?
My hand, can you reach it?
My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you help me?
Wake me from this nightmare
