Thyresis - Risen

Darkened scenes smoke and mirrors
Flows inside a river deep
Step outside existence
Leave behind those tainted memories

For a while believe
The color of the sky will never change
Caught within a spiral
Consciousness will now expand its range

I have always been by your side
When you could walk no further
I carried you in my arms

Wake up and see you are not all alone
Distrust you gave and made your own fear grow
Embraced the darkness and hid from the day
You felt so lost but was not given away

Rise from your hate, my friend!

The taste of dirt, the smell of death
So deeply scarred and wounded
Have been hunting down
All trace of hope - no more!

Embrace the love I once denied
Swallow the tears I have cried
Risen from ashes

Wake up and see you are not all alone
Distrust you gave and made your own fear grow
Embraced the darkness and hid from the day
You felt so lost but was not given away

Rise from your hate, my friend!
