RISE TO REMAIN LYRICS

1. Bridges Will Burn

Mouth sewn shut, abandoned to speak
With the dawn of a new day rising, we all will know...

Shall I not be heard? I will not
For they can't stand up, and bite the bullet
Their justice lies with pain, their justice is not belief
Killing, maiming, interrogating all who're true to their word

Behind life and death, lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same...
And as I dream, of something real, we all will weep, for we can not feel

Pray for something new, the bridges will burn, as we cast our divides...

Bring me to my knees, and laugh awhile
As you see the destruction you've caused
I will not be, brought down by mistakes in my past
Destroy, rebuild, enslave is not the only way
For you will decay...

Destroy other relations, with a pure race
Created by intolerant bigots
Who would destroy a world
For their own power

Behind life and death, lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same...
And as I dream, of something real, we all will weep, for we can not feel

The rivers are weeping, as the streets rain blood
As we now pass judgement, let the bridges burn...

Behind life and death, lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same...
And so we, in sickness, cry out our gaping maws, and so we, in sickness, reject our lives for dirt.

2. Nothing Left

Now the departed, are laid to rest
and the single chance to reconcile is covered with the earth
I heard her screaming, begging to the sky
All the while the numbness culls all decency inside

I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes
But I would hold you when theres nothing left,
I'll never let you down

So sick of trying all the time,
The blood's been spilt, and it is mine
And all thats left to breathe
Are empty words inside my head

All the bullets shall unload, empty casings, callous hold
The loss of one begins to burn,
But I'll take that road when its my turn

I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes
But I would hold you when theres nothing left,
I'll never let you down

No more will I fall apart...

I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes
But I would hold you when theres nothing left,
I'll never let you down

3. Purify

I've always found, that hatred was made from past failures
Burning inside my head, scorching my memories
Now you remember,
The ones you left behind
Now your wounded,
Like a thorn stuck in your side
The faces loom in to your deterrent grin
The lost children have found their way in... Now their home, again
As I stare at the faces that lie before me, don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are?
When your life turns black, do you purify?

The bloodstained walls that bear your name
Scream as loud as the fists that broke them too
Paralysed at the feet of your family
The knife comes down as the blood soaks through and through

Tear out the heart and soul, of the patriarchal figure
His severed ties has crucified this perfect family picture

As I stare at the faces that lie before me, don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are?
When your life turns black, do you purify?

Just look all around you...
Our fists are poised and clenched
And these words you will heard them,
I speak for the victims,
You are not alone...
Now sing, these words with me

As I stare at the faces that lie before me, don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are?
When your life turns black, do you purify?

4. Illusive Existence

Waiting for daylight, but darkness prevails
All that I've strived for, has ended and failed
Nothing remains of my once envied past,
A prestigious, pretentious, failure at last.

As my curtain starts to fall, my final journey hits the floor
My existence fades to black, there is no turning back
All the weakness we can't see, all the failure put on me
All the hate behind their eyes, I defy them for I will rise...

We'll never forgive and we'll never surrender
Raise your fists, and make your stand with me
We'll never forgive and we'll never surrender
Shackles break into my arms again

Waiting for daylight, but darkness prevails
The liars you died for, have ended and failed
The stench of deception could blind all our ties
But we will stand stronger and fuck all the lies

As my curtain starts to fall, my final journey hits the floor
My existence fades to black, there is no turning back
All the weakness we can't see, all the failure put on me
All the hate behind their eyes, I defy them for I will rise...

We'll never forgive and we'll never surrender
Raise your fists, and make your stand with me
We'll never forgive and we'll never surrender
Shackles break into my arms again
