Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know the truth hurts, it stings like hell
From the deep fires and the ringing bells
I know it's time to end my days
With a shovel and cross, I've dug my grave
[Verse 2]
I know I have my cross to bear
As I sit in silence, soulless stare
I recall a smile as I think of you
And outta nowhere, I have these blues
[Verse 3]
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
[Verse 4]
I rise
I rise when the storm rages
[Verse 5]
I know it hides in plain sight
I fight it now with all my might
Like a tree in the yard that bears no fruit
I know it's little comfort to you
[Verse 6]
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
[Verse 7]
I rise
I rise when the storm rages
[Verse 8]
Oh
I can't let it fall on me
Oh
All I had to do was breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
[Verse 9]
I know you're sad to see this day
And I know I'm stuck in my ways
Your words all fall upon deaf ears
Behind a veil of hidden fears
[Verse 10]
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
[Verse 11]
I rise
I rise when the storm rages
[Verse 12]
When the storm rages
When the storm rages
When the storm rages
