i rise to a crest
before the only thing promised
the fall to follow;
clinging to what i know
oh once more
i think i see shore
how real my dreams
have begun to seem to me
that holding nothing
still feels like something
anything i can treasure
ever without measure
--my ideas will live on, long after im gone--
ill rise to my fall
so promise me now
youll forget about it all
shed your last doubt
and if you need to cling
dont reach for my body
hold close my meaning
when nothing is left of me
forget all that i have done
building my own nightmare
remember we are one
my dreams are yours to share
--my ideas will live on, long after im gone--
i rise once again
an echo of the forgotten
yet louder than my voice
these truths will have no choice
but to live on in my stead
theyll know no rest
in what i left behind
so today i can still smile
for my final end
is when it will all begin
what should be will be
with or without me
