Rise Again
Rise again
When some had fallen
I still stood
When the strongest man had grown too weak
I still stood firm
Upon one knee
And when the strongest still
Screamed while upon their back
I crawled free
And when all others
Finally died
I cried aloud
And breathed a final breath
Than rose to my feet
And charged
I struck with all my strength
But felt only air
I fell to my knees
As my chest burned
A blade stuck through my heart
I rose
And turned again
To see all the rest
Battered and broken
Rise again
We shouted
We screamed
And for the first time
We moved as one
We slew this beast
We won this battle
And as its blood hit the rock
I too drew my last breath
Thanking all creation
And God himself
That I was the only one to fall this day
And as my eyes darkened
I shouted never forget
To rise again
