This is a warning
A line in the sand
Failures my teacher
Not my destroyer
I get up, I learn from
I try it again
While you skipped scenes
I buried my burdens
So, if you play god
In your kingdom of paper
Remember a match
Will eventually strike
And once it ignites
And your crown turns to ash
You'll beg for life
But I bury my burdens
I, I'm the contender
Who never surrendered
I, rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
To try this again
Past the shame of errors
Broken things, delirium
The blood, the tears, the pain
I have lived to tell it all
I am not very tall
But pray to god
You never wake the giant
Sleeping inside me
This is not the story
Of one who never falls
But of one
Who always rises
When he does
I, I'm the contender
Who never surrendered
I, rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
To try it again
A breath of fresh air
A breath of fresh air
To bring me back to life
And push away the faces
Trying to hold me
Down
Move!
You are no king or god
I will not beg or bow
You are no king or god
I will not beg or bow down
I, I'm the contender
Who never surrendered
I, rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
To try this again
Try, try, try this again
