Rise

another stolen piece from GITS SAC

I'm a soldier, and that means
I'm both defendant and judge
I am standing on the two ends of fire
Bending over the steep turns, overtaking death and life
I'm running to fight the shadow of the lies

 

No matter how much threads deceit weaves
The truth will show the face of light

 

Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die

 

Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall

 

I'm a soldier, born to stand
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can compute

 

pray myself we don't forget
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truth

 

people facing the fire together
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found

 

Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die

 

Chase the dream to the edge of the abyss
This is the only way to save the world

 

Don't you cry,
Hide your tears
Because there'll be a new day
Your fire
Will be heating
Thousands of hearts

Now, rise up

 

Hide your pain and fear far off
The one who is right will win
Remember, everything is in your hands

 

Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die

 

Author's Note

These are the lyrics for the opening theme song for Ghost in the Shell Stand alone complex. I love that show and the intro is amazing.
