Rising Above the Grave

You were brutally murdered and left to tragically die Your body is as cold as winter, your spirit is almost in the sky The world is a raging hell; their soul is a dark abyss You’ve been so good to them, but they decided to treat you like this Abused ever since you were born Your mind and your heart’s been torn You’re life was nothing but doom Until you got tired of all the gloom Emerge dear soldier from your bed of tears Wipe your face and tackle your fears Rise above the grave they buried you in Discover the power you have within Erase the pain of a million words Words that pierced through you as swords No more heart aches, because you are strong Strong enough to forgive those who did you wrong Rise up dear soldier with your head held up high As they sink to the bottom and you reach to the sky
