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
