I've Risen

Through my eyes
With one hand
For my will
Within a breath

I grabbed, owned and brought terror
To all the foreign lands
I took the precious gift of life
Throughout any realm of existence

I have risen
I have risen

I gave life to thousands of sons
And I saw them all fall before me
I ruled the weak, I ruined worlds
In my endless decades of might

Uncountable is the amount of suns
I've seen rise, pass, and sink
Unnamable all the kingdoms I've seen
Conquered and destroyed

I have risen
I have risen
For my will be done

I have risen
Between the strong
Above the weak
I have grown up
With demons and angels
In struggle and silence

(You will) see my tales on the wall
Of any grave in forgotten lands
(You can) see my shrunken temple
My body, once the house of a god
(You can still) see the statues standing
On my kingdoms soil, showing my pride
(You might) realize my triumph
Above all flesh and steel
The god and devil am I

I have risen
I have risen
For my will be done

I have risen
Between the strong
Above the weak
(Above the weak)
I have grown up
With demons and angels (angels)
In struggle and silence

I have risen
Between the strong
Above the weak
(Above the weak)
I have grown up
With demons and angels (angels)
In struggle and silence

I have risen
Between the strong
Above the weak
(Above the weak)
I have created
Paradise and hell
In my era of domination
