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
