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

(Rise again, to light the fire)

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!
