Arise
Out of the darkness and straight into the light
Out of sweet death straight into everlasting life
Out of devastation straight into the destroyers sour demise
Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise
Like a firebird rising out the ashes of affliction
Once the mad architect of my own annihilation
Once fear and frustration it flooded my soul
Once lost at the bottom of a bottomless hole
Once a ravenous rider on a black horse of hate
Once force fed lies...now I watch...now I wait
Raw revenge is a dark dish that's best served cold
I am iron
I am ice
Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise
Like ghosts of glass...shattered spirits of sin
I'm the writing on the walls
I'm a whisper in the whirlwind
I'm the solitary soldier on a suicidal bend
I'm a screaming skeleton choking...on my own invisible skin
Seek and search for me but you'll never ever find
I'm the end of the world
I am Armageddon sunrise
Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise
