Rise

Everything that rises will one day fall, 
but as I stand high upon my pedestal I will surely be acknowledged as the greatest of them of them all 
My enemy's knees will quiver and shake, 
while looking this destined king in his heavenly face
Whenever they wake, 
they will enter with respect and loyalty into my self-made kingdom, my sacred place 
i will fall to none,
and with all my strength, I'll insure every battle is won 
I will bow down to no one but my great God above, 
but still respect every earthly man with great Love
I will always stand as a king, 
not because you said so, but because of the way I live and the greatness I bring 
i must stand as a king today, or fall as a peasant tomorrow, 
i must die in a honorable way, surely if i die a peasant, i will die in sorrow 
I will rise,
and stare all obstacles within its grueling eyes 
I will also one day fall, 
but I will fall with high honor and great valor, and always be remembered as the greatest of them all.......
