Rise
Miracle of Sound Lyrics

Through ceaseless time
Throughout all of time, across generations and eras

Great nations fall
Even the most powerful and established nations can crumble and fail

Immortal shadows
The lingering remnants and influences of the past and preceding generations

Sacrifice the sprawl
To give up on the excess and overindulgence in society

A man will come
A revolutionary figure will emerge and bring about change

To start a fire
To ignite a spark that will kindle the flame of change

Your shining city
Your prosperous and successful society

Will become your pyre
Will be consumed by the flames of destruction and downfall

Rise from the shadows
To emerge from the darkness and obscurity

Make a fist of the pain
To use the struggles and hardships as motivation to overcome and succeed

Rise from your grief
To surpass the sorrow and despair that holds you back

Before it grows into your bane
Before the pain and sorrow becomes a permanent affliction that undermines your potential

Climb from the prison
To escape the confinement and limitations of the mind and soul

That you've built in your soul
That you have constructed and reinforced within yourself through negative experiences and emotions

When the night has arisen
When the worst of times and challenges have come to fruition

Then your legend will be whole
Then you will attain greatness and become a true symbol of inspiration and perseverance

Your kings of commerce
The dominant and influential figures of the business world

Your crowns of greed
The obsession and addiction to wealth and power at any cost

Will not protect you
Will not provide security or salvation when faced with critical junctures

When the slaves are freed
When the oppressed and exploited classes rise up and gain their freedom

Your body broken
Your physical form is damaged and weakened

Your spirit numb
Your soul is desensitized and unresponsive to positive influence

Weak and waiting
Vulnerable and passive, anticipating the worst outcome

For the end to come
For the inevitable destruction and collapse of the system

I will start a fire
I will be the one to initiate change and revolution

Watch it rise through your city
Observe the widespread impact and influence of the movement

Rise from the agony
To overcome the intense pain and suffering

That pierces your mind
That penetrates deeply into your consciousness and thoughts

Rise from the stigmas
To break free from the labels and biases placed upon you

Of enigmas you've designed
Of mysteries and complexities that you have intentionally crafted

Rise from the chaos
To navigate through the turmoil and confusion of the world

Of a world turned to ash
Of a world that has fallen into despair and ruin

The faces of anarchy
The countenances of rebellion and uprisings

Are waiting for the crash
Eagerly anticipating and preparing for the downfall of the established order

Why do we fall? Learn to...
Questioning the reasons behind failure, and striving to learn and grow from those experiences
