Rise

Call me hollow on a path to madness

Like a phoenix, I came back from ashes

The Lord of Cinder is back from nappin'

They've all gone mad

Now they're actin rabid

I'll have to send them all back to ashes

I can see their fires

Swallowed by the Darkness

Push through the fog

If you're not my friend

You're nothin but a conquest

Light a bonfire

catch your breath

I left a message and You better check it:

If you follow my path get ready for pain

From the deepest pits of the abysses

Comes a sickness

With which I'm afflicted

Even though my destiny

Might be scripted

Can you tell me one thing that isn't cryptic

Because my grip is slippin'

On my sanity

I'm barely hangin' onto my humanity

Every encounter ends

In a calamity

Why do I do this to myself?
         
Answer me

Now I'm as hollow as I'll ever be

Because the dark sigil

Has already branded me

A curse hangin' over me like a Canopy

But I will use the darkness

That was sent to me

To keep the first flame burning for centuries

Light and darkness are not complimentary

My Enemies will never see the end of me

Because I just cannot seem

To rest in peace

On the grind like a nine to five
Trying not to let the fire die

If you need a light, then I'm your guy

I'm a lord of cinder

Adorned with embers

My flame will burn even through storms of winter

Every demon I face  is getting more familiar

Hollowed, empty

Stoke these embers

Lost my memories

Won't remember

The flame is fading

I'm the lone defender

I know I'll have a dark souls forever

Life and Death

Dark and Light

Warmth and Cold

Wrong and Right

The Darkness is falling

The Grim Reaper's calling

The Shadows are coming toLife

And I must rekindle

The embers that dwindle

From ashes and cinder

Will I Rise
