The real mad stance when all the boys were bowing down
I had to leave those ghosts behind
And all the idols that I melted to the ground
They're no more a god than I
Gentle hand reached out and stopped me from my slumber
It wasn't rooted in the sky
I snapped those puppet strings before they pulled me under
I couldn't face another lie
This might hurt
If
it hurt It only hurt me less
I'm not afraid no more I'm a dead man back down
Oh, I'll be reborn
With this I vow
I love the secrets long ago But did we know them?
They saw them hidden in my eyes They tried to dig them from my skull
But I denied them
They didn't dream that I would rise
Oh,
brother,
wake me and return me to my labor There is work left to be done
Is there no mercy for a brother or a neighbor?
Mercy for the widow's son?
This might hurt
This might hurt
This might hurt This might hurt
If it hurt
You know it hurt me less
To
this I'll be reborn
With this I vow
