You know the truth hurts, it stings like hell
From the deep fires and the ringing bells
I know it's time to end my days
With a shovel and cross I've dug my grave

I know I have my cross to bear
As I sit in silent soulless stare
I recall a smile as I think of you
And out of nowhere I have these blues

Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
I rise
I rise
When the storm rages

I know it hides in plain sight
I fight it now with all my might
Like a tree in the yard that bears no fruit
I know it's little comfort to you

Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
I rise
I rise
When the storm rages
Oh, I can't let it fall on me
Oh, all I had to do was breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe

I know you're sad to see this day
And I know I'm stuck here in my ways
Your words all fall upon deaf ears
Behind the veil of hidden fears

Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
Beyond the silence
Beyond the silence in my mind
I rise
I rise
When the storm rages
When the storm rages
When the storm rages
When the storm rages
