dead but rising

dear wind of mississippi

can you call him by name?

i have followed his wings on a sunny day

i like to believe he's the chosen one

i like to believe he's the fallen one

dead but rising

i raise the fist

raise the fist with power and fate

and wishing that his claws will grab onto my hand

i like to believe he's the chosen one

i like to believe he's the fallen one

dead but rising

i have been to the end of waters

i have been to the end of earth

i've been over mountains and riding the storms

dear son

your words have reached me

and for that i can carry on

i'll guide you in spirit. today i'll be home

i like to believe he's the fallen one

i like to believe he's the chosen one

the rebirth of man heals a bleeding heart

the eagle of kings wears my father's soul

dead but rising
