Time To Rise (feat. Kwame Off Hoops) - Criss_Wayne

Beyond the horizon Beyond all we can see Something draws the lines of destiny We are alone in the geometry of things Hanging from the clouds Only a hand waving free Now the winter is everywhere Shadows lengthen, turn into demons While the asymmetric flow of time Gives a beat to lifeless things We traverse Paths of knowledge We know nothing of us Only that we are here Pile up and raise stone by stone Forgetting the beauty of words Now it's time to rise To run fast in the wake of kings It's time to rise Stop floating in memories It's time to rise There must be other ways (It's time to rise) There must be There must be other worlds (It's time to rise) There must be It's time to rise Cling to the sun's rays Flat level sands stretch far away Walking like shadows We search for what is lost We raise all things we later let fall down Always clinging to eventuality and hope Now the winter is everywhere Shadows lengthen, turn into demons Now it's time to rise To run fast in the wake of kings It's time to rise To run towards infinity It's time to rise It's time to rise Cling to the sun's rays Like waves in the ocean of time We fall and rise again Sailors lost in the ocean of time On every island we find new pain Like waves in the ocean of time We fall and rise again Sailors lost in the ocean of time On every island we find new pain Like waves in the ocean of time We fall and rise again Sailors lost in the ocean of time On every island we find new pain

Can you hear the desperate cries That are calling out your name Twisting your arms Holding out their hands and tugging at your sleeve? Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency Or are you as blind as me? I hit the ground and I'm still running But need a place to stay tonight I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere now I can't bear the thought of losing I dread the attention winning brings And ever since the day I came here I can stand without your strings I'm so sick of all these people But I'm scared to be alone If this life has taught me anything I forgot it long ago and so I Hit the ground and I'm still running But I need a place to stay tonight I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Hit the ground and I'm still running But I need a place to stay tonight I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes The heart is something you can't control We either choose to follow Or be left on our own So we're leaving here on a less-travelled road As the desperate cries grow louder I know we're getting close We're getting close I hit the ground and I'm still running But I need a place to stay tonight I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Hit the ground and I'm still running But I need a place to stay tonight I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
