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
