Wait... do you hear the sound?
The stir in the crowd?
The swell of the meek and meager
Light, that burns through the cloud
Pulls back on the shroud – exposes a faceless leader
We rise! Now the tension cuts like a knife
The scale's tipping over
Wait, do you hear the sound?
The clock ticking down?
It started with one sweet whisper
Hush now don't you cry
It's darkest before the morning light
Hush now don't you cry
We light the fire
Wait!
Do you hear the sound?
The shift in the ground – the change in the pace, the meter
Time!
That we took a stand
Unfolded our hands and took to the fight
We rise up & rise again!
We are lions from lambs, we are hope from ruin
Woke up! We're awake again
And we light the fire
We rise up & rise again!
We are lions from lambs, we are hope from ruin
Woke up! We're awake again
And we light the fires
And we, we took it lying down for too long
'Til the balance had soured, gone
We wanna see a new dawn
We'll fight on and on and on
We rise up
And rise again and we light the fire
We rise up & rise again!
We are lions from lambs
We are hope from ruin
Woke up!
We're awake again and we light the fires
Rise!
Rise!
