Verse I: As I walk barefoot on this field of thorns,

Each of my losses is your personal gain.

Though you wish to bring me further down,

I rise up from these ashes of yesterday

Like a Phoenix

Pre-Chorus:

Why are you hating

Why are you lurking

Why do you play among those shadows?

Don’t you know,

That you’re Falling??

Chorus:

Falling

Falling

Falling

As you fall, I try to reach out

I reach out

As you fall you drag me down with you,

With you

Verse II:

As I break free from these Shadows

This hell you’ve spawned from hate.

I cry for what’s been lost.

Lost

Pre-Chorus:

Why do you hate?

Why are you lurking?

Why do you play among those shadows?

Don’t you know,

That you’re Falling??

Chorus:

Falling

Falling

Falling

As you fall, I try to reach out

I reach out

As you fall you drag me down with you,

With you

Verse III:

I struggle upon myself to get out of this hell

I hear your pleas of forgiveness

But as I turn around,

It’s already too late,

As you’re lost in the Shadows.

Outro:

As I break the surface of darkness

My tears birth a blinding light

The Dawn of a new day

As I forgive you for everything you’ve done,

I Rise...
