Dark was the night, tears on my face
We gathered in the candlelight as the whole world stood still

How can I forget that prayer for the dead
Underneath that blackened sky
As close as we could get

It´s the age we´re livin´ in
A dark sign of the times
Can´t let the madness kick us down to the ground

We´ll rise, we´ll rise
We´ll shine in the night
We´ll rise, we´ll shine from the ashes of eternity

We´ll rise, we´ll rise
We´ll shine in the night
We´ll rise, we´ll shine to eternity

Another starry sky, another silver moon
And soon the sun will shine warming our roofs

Gather your children
We must move with the wind
to make a fire bright from the flames within

We´ll rise, we´ll rise
Like an eagle flies in the sky

´Cos together we´re strong
And we´ll rise, we´ll rise
