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!
