The Old King Emerges from Jade [Alt Master]
I see the light beaming through the jade encrusted prison
I sense the dawn of the new day awaiting us
So take my hand, even through our weakness we'll have risen
I hold the hopes of those that I had left behind
The weave of fate's demand drove us to be together
So if we can't find our way outside, we'll never see the moon
Even through numbness my soul is like a feather
It don't matter how strong you are, you'll never be immune
Through hatred and demise, know that I won't surrender
My sheer determination, fueled by this tune
The mystic notes arise, surround us in our splendor
You'll feel my burning heat overcome the dark typhoon
The forces far beyond have tried to bring our fall
To make us think there's nothing left, that we have fought in vain
We are the children of the past- we have the wherewithal
We must continue our quest through sunshine and the rain
The puppetmaster pulls my strings but I ignore his beck and call
I hold the holy shield of light and the sword of evil's bane
The sun will never shine again unless we face it all
So stay with me, stick by my side- we are the hurricane
We'll make it through together just stay strong and don't surrender
We'll make it through together just stay strong and don't surrender
We'll make it through together just stay strong and don't surrender
We'll make it through together just stay strong and don't surrender
I see the light beaming through the jade encrusted prison
I sense the dawn of the new day awaiting us
So take my hand, even through our weakness we'll have risen
I'll hold the hopes of those that I had left behind
And through the gates, I can see the promise of tomorrow
I sense the dawn of the new day awaiting us
Nothing will hide all the suffering and all the sorrow
But with resolve in hand we'll leave those things behind!
Rise from the jade!
Rise from the jade!
