[Verse 1]
Give me peace and absolution
Take me up into the light
Sacrifice and self-destruction
Bodies burning bright
To die for revelation
Decimate the enemy
Holy war into damnation
Blood is on the streets

[Pre-Chorus]
But when the knife is cutting deep
And you're crying in your sleep
Then it's time to come alive

[Chorus]
And rise up, shine forever
You will see the light again on your road

Yeah!
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Watch your step; they're right behind you
Better move without a sound
Damn the day they're gonna find you
Grind you to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
And the knife is cutting deep
And in agony, you creep
And it's time to stay alive

[Chorus]
And rise up, shine forever
You will see the light on your road
Rise up; it's now or never
You shall see the light again on your road
Yeah!

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Standing and watching the fire
Don't wanna stand in the row
Watching the flames getting higher
Look at yourself, regain your self-control

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a look around you, you're not alone
So stand up and rise

[Chorus]
Rise up, shine forever
You will see the light on your road
Rise up, shine forever
And your star will rise again
It shall rise
