Let Yourself Rise

Fate takes its twist, Always when you least expect When your living in bliss, Your life can be wrecked In the company of dogs, You can become the feast And in a synagogue, No one holds the leash Spite spiked with pain, Is an emotion without limit I've dealt it time and time again, And I've felt the end of it. When the deep blue skies, Are ignored or disguised In the dark the devil hides, Lift your eyes Let yourself rise, Let yourself rise. The joker cries, In his den at night While the reaper lies, But awakes with fright If you feel unwelcome, Feel no obligation to stay It's a cruel world for some, Free will has made it this way You can not blame the maker, Blame finds its own way home In the heart of the traitor, Lies a feeling to many unknown. When your lover cries, And guilt is compromised Forgive no unfaithful lie, Cut your ties Let yourself rise, Let yourself rise.
