lyrics
Don’t look back
Doubt bears a dreadful path
Will you sink or stand
And triumph by your own hand
Now I can hardly see
Through the field of my enemies
No longer content to be
Gripped by pathology
The story is in your step
Fight till you’ve nothing left
Don’t give up your suffering yet
This life’s more than condemnation
This is your initiation
I won’t surrender
Rise with me now
Days pass
Long last
Now it’s clear to me
After careful inquiry
We are the thing that is and the thing that will come to be
Still I can hear your steps
Echo out in my head
No, don’t quit your suffering yet
This life’s more than pure subjection
Let this be our insurrection
I won’t surrender
Rise with me now
For the blood of those before us who raised their voices and stood their ground
I will never bow
You descend from a legacy greater than
This fragmented facade
Defending conviction from deep within
Our own heart
Shed the mandalic imagery
Instilled into you neolithically
For all kind
I won’t surrender
Rise with me now
For the blood of those before us
Who braved the darkness
And brought the beast to the ground
Rise with me now
I will never bow
