Arise

(album: Defy The Skies - 2012)

I can't shake this heavy burden, as we pass the mountains deep in foreign land
I am traveling with the legions, of a power that would seek to conquer man
And I must admit the lie, I've been keeping this whole time, I should fight for the other side
So with all my strength and pride I stand up and I cry

[CHORUS:]
Arise and follow your heart again, all souls in one are intertwined
Brothers in arms we will meet the end, and find the light beyond this life

Wander the fields again, as we've done in ages past
Life was so simple then, we must push on, we can't look back

There's no time for hesitation, come and join me now, there's glory to be had
We're protectors of the innocent, we must break the bonds of villainous command
And if they dare stand in our way, they will feel our wrath this day, there's no stopping victory
So with heart and dignity we'll stand up and we'll say

[CHORUS]

The wars of yesterday, we can not let them fade with time
We must learn from our mistakes, remember well the sacrifice

Follow the path of righteousness, honour in death; the ultimate
Repudiate your selfish ways, enlightenment, is in your hands
