Rise - Nine Lashes

I remember all too well

Just wishing for the sun

Yet holding onto darkness

And I remember calling out

To break into the dawn

And I remember all too well

Wishing that I could find

A place to be and live and breath

And forget what lies behind

But I still had the night, I still had the night

I know how far you can fall

And all the ways the heart grows colder

And there’s no way that I’m leaving you here just to die

Give up the fight only to fly making your way back home

And I believe there’s more to the story

Than all the ways a man can fall

So rise with me, the dawn is approaching now

Everybody knows this well

That the darkness comes for all

Hoping to kill off everything

That the light would call its own

But I refuse to fall, I refuse to fall

Breaking forth, never gonna be another casualty

Never gonna fade in the dark after losing faith

Cause I have known the light and I will never die

I know how far you can fall

And all the ways the heart grows colder

And there’s no way that I’m leaving you here just to die

Give up the fight only to fly, making your way back home

And I believe there’s more to the story

Than all the ways a man can fall

So rise with me, the dawn is approaching now

Never let go, just follow me home

I don’t want to leave you here in the dark

It’s getting harder to find your way through the night, I know, I know

Just run to the light, I promise you’ll find

A place where you can see the sun in the sky

But you’ll never fly when holding a heart made of stone

Guitar solo

I know how far you can fall

And all the ways the heart grows colder

And there’s no way that I’m leaving you here just to die

And I believe there’s more to the story

Than all the ways a man can fall

So rise with me, our God is approaching now
