Lyrics
I am on fire, an inferno head to toe, disconcerting all I know
I didn’t know, how could I know that there was a…
Demon beneath my tires, improvised, shrewdly split Synchronized through flying spit
Out in the dark, I was the mark
This day is tragic, desperately I need magic
Ancient remedy book
It’s all I took from the libraries of yesterday
I’m now half my height, deep frustration is my plight
Drudging up my every might, I didn’t see
How could it be that there is this flip side to the fight?
Once all the comrades melt away, such isolation every day
Too much to drink, too much to think
This world feels colder, I feel much older, almost gave up tryin’
Heart of the lion please help and get me through this day
There she was, she looked so fresh, so cool and yet so hot
She served me courage to work through my bitter plot
Should happiness, it’s pursuit still be sought?
I will try it soon, I will come back soon, I will come back around
Can’t keep me down, I will rise up again
Yes, I will rise, yeah I will rise, I will rise
I will get back on my feet
And I will rise, yes, I will rise, I will rise
I will get back on my feet and I will rise
