I’ve walked the coiling lines
Set back a hundred times
Winding through worlds of weary kings
(Once more to the first)

Another crumbling hall
Another humbling fall
Once more the mourning bells will ring

But I won’t be kept down
I’ll just keep on rising
Failure ever fading
Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down
Embers keep igniting
Suns will sink to shade
But always rise again

I’ve been a ghost of flame
A fading fire to claim
Lost in a world of aching shame

But I won’t be kept down
I’ll just keep on rising
Failure ever fading
Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down
Embers keep igniting
Suns will sink to shade
But always rise again

Look to the sun
Hollow is the curse
Now the end has begun
Once more to the first
Look to the sun
Hollow is the curse
Beaten back, overrun

But I won’t be kept down
I’ll just keep on rising
Failure ever fading
Growth in every pain

I won’t be kept down
Embers keep igniting
Suns will sink to shade
But always rise again
