Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you lift me up to a higher place?
Forget everything that was before
Turn your face around like the salted sphere
Turn yourself around to see what once was there
[Chorus]
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises
[Verse 2]
Jesus, lift me up to a higher plane
To a higher plane
Can you come around before I go insane?
Before I go insane?
Cast me not in Hell where the demons rage
Where the demons rage
Turn yourself around to see what I can save
To see what I can save
[Chorus]
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises
[Verse 3]
"Turn yourself away from the wickedness," I said
Evil comes to play in the image of the dead
[Chorus]
Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises in a word
Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises
[Outro]
Everything rises, everything rises
Everything rises, everything rises
Everything rises, everything rises
Everything rises
