I've been away ten thousand times and still I look in the mirror
What do I see? An owl trying to fly in the light of day
Unaware of what's in my way, I can only find my place
And I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, wrong

Rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, yeah
Oh here they come destroying my youth and the other side's the same
In the grey world my color subdued, and the blue remained
I've been asleep for most of my life and still it looks familiar
The people I meet are callous, taking life in another way
Contrived in the words they say, keeping time with the wolves at play
And I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, wrong

Rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, yeah
Oh here they come destroying my youth and the other side's the same
In the grey world my color subdued, and the blue remained
They will pay for all the times we've come through
In the eyes of pain
When will I make it?
Is the world worth taking?

Oh when will I make it?

Rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, rising, yeah
Oh here they come destroying my youth and the other side's the same
In the grey world my color subdued, and the blue remained
They will pay for all the times we've come through
In the eyes of pain
Ah, when will I make it?
Ah, when will I make it?
I'm not another, no no
