I Will Rise For You

from Live Life Slow by Starlite Radio

/

lyrics

I feel heavy now
My fingers quiver underneath a gun
My legs feel buried in the dirt
But I’m ready for the run

Streaks of gold light the sky
In endless smoke and cloud
My sight lies steady on the hill
I’ll make death, or meet my own

I heard the call, took my place
My mother-dear, kissed my face
I will rise for you!

Shots ring, 10,000 bells,
Against my temple drums
Silhouettes on the hill
Drop like aimless bombs

Blood pours out on the ground
From my wounded enemies
One’s eyes lie open in the light
Staring back at me

I heard the call...

We move onward through the fire
Sons and daughters, mines and wire
Blazing like the sun

Abraham took his son
Up the hill with a gun
I will rise for you

An angel cast the gun aside
And spoke to Abe, God will provide
I will rise for you!
