Rising from the Ashes: Confronting Fear and Pride
Lyrics
Give me your eyes so I can see through fire
Seeking insight and clarity to navigate challenges with resilience.
Give me your strength so I can stand so strong...
Requesting strength to stand firm and unwavering in the face of adversity.
Now we walk on leathered skin to freedom.
Embarking on a challenging journey towards freedom, symbolized by "leathered skin."
The tempest roars but I am fearless.
Despite the tumultuous situation ("tempest roars"), maintaining fearlessness.
With each step I crack and stretch and each breath is a sting to my chest.
Experiencing physical and emotional strain, with each step and breath being a struggle.
My God, will this push bring purity or...
Questioning whether the trials faced will lead to purity or undesirable consequences.
Bring out the dead! Bring out the dead!
A call to confront and deal with challenges ("Bring out the dead!").
Bring out what you will have bow down, and they will bow down.
Emphasizing the inevitability of submission and reverence.
"They're climbing, they're climbing through soil and earth."
Describing a relentless pursuit or ascent, overcoming obstacles.
They have my scent! "but you can stop them, I'm sure..."
Awareness of being pursued, with a belief in the ability to resist.
Yes, I can best even the devil himself. "...but your pride has just made it worse.."
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges but warned about the role of pride.
What writhing spite is unearthing here?
Questioning the negative emotions or malice emerging in the situation.
Why choose from prodigals a band of cowards
Questioning the selection of individuals lacking courage to represent a cause.
To hoist your banner of love for the world to the slaughter?
Questioning the purpose of sacrificing love for the world, possibly futile.
"Just a crack, the smallest of flaws and your legs have now failed you to crawl.
Highlighting vulnerability through a small flaw, leading to failure and weakness.
You're, from the dirt, insurgent to warning, from lion to nothing at all.
Describing a transformation from strength ("lion") to insignificance ("nothing at all").
Look and see, you're feeble and weak for your body fights only your heart.
Observing a discrepancy between physical and emotional strength.
Call to me and unleash the strength, your soul will begin to roar."
Calling for a connection and unleashing inner strength in the face of adversity.
Give me your eyes so I can see through fire
Reiteration of the desire for insight to navigate challenges.
Give me your strength so I can stand so strong...
Reiterating the request for strength to stand firm.
I breathe in your light and like fire my colors now light.
Absorbing positivity and radiating vibrant energy like fire.
Though outnumbered by lines, we'll stay and fight.
Despite being outnumbered, committing to stay and fight.
When we reach the gates all you'll hear us say is,
Anticipating reaching a significant point and declaring readiness to confront challenges.
"Bring out the dead! Bring out the dead!"
Reiterating the call to face challenges and overcome adversity.
Bring out what you will have bow down and they will bow down
Reemphasizing the inevitability of submission and reverence.
