Analysis of Risen
To wake from this night of slumber
As I gaze upon this life of old
I'm lost in thought I gaze and ponder
Here's the trueth that should be told
Thier is a soul that has been lost
Forgotten through the years
The price to pay but a heavy cost
Letting go of darkened fears
Climbing from the hole within
Finding no escape
Continuing this rise to light
For the soul is what's at stake
This everlasting assent to peace
Forever it seems to take
To get it done
The soul shall run
And jump into the light
Forever more
It shall restore
The never ending fight
As the story goes
The moral is but true
To rise into the heavens
Is completly up to you
