Rise

Rise 
Out of the ashes
Out of the Darkness
Against the hardships
Don't be stopped, don't be slowed

Rise
Wipe the blood off
Brush the dust and ash
Wash the sweat
Push through the pain and misery, for they are only temporary

Rise
Stronger than you fell
With fire in your soul
With an inferno in your eyes
Push forward, never falter

Rise 
When you think you can't
Rise
When your body wants to fail
Rise
When you want to give up

RISE
