The One

Down in the river we were dyin'
Forlorn and washed away
Hypnotized by the sound
The beating heart of yesterday
I'll never fall back just to follow
I will take you on
And bring you to the place
Where darkness bleeds into the sun
The one you love
The one you fear
Couldn't make me disappear
And now i'm risin from the ashes of that fire
This will take you down you should know
I will never let you go
In this life or the next one
We will meet again
Now what was it that you were sayin'?
Out of the mist there came a creature
Made by the man who sowed
Devilish seeds into the soil
Of his achin' soul
It's all so pretty on the outside
But it's all for show
Inside the cankers bleed
As justice takes it's heavy toll
Shut up your face, i'm talkin'
I'm letting you know
That now, now is the time
That i'll be risin'
I'll be shinin' with the one
The one you love
The one you fear
Couldn't make me disappear
Now i'm risin' from the ashes of that fire
This will take you down
