The First Redemption Lyrics

A feeling in my bones time cannot withhold the scars or
the spark to change the path we walk upon.

These tragedies these wars shape us and strengthen our
insight.
The light that burns inside our minds.
Through trials and tribulations learning time may not
make things right.
Recite.
These words come from inside.

No one can take your dignity and pride so hold it deep
inside.
No one can change mistakes we've made in life so ease
your mind.

Surrendering; release your fears.
Let it go.
Let it fall into the undertow.
Let it go.

Looking back I see something kept me from falling;
saved my life.
In time I see through different eyes.
Strength returning to their faces my people fight to
stay alive.
This life held close inside our minds.

No one can take your dignity and pride so hold it deep
inside.
No one can change mistakes we made in life so ease your
mind.

The torrent; the storm rains down its wrath and strive.
Spirits hold fast raised from the ashes.
Our voice echoes the story and the martyr's song.
Strike us down, but we won't be broken. We overcome tribulation.
Find the eye of the storm.
Stand amidst fear and chaos.
We persevere!

No one can take your dignity and pride so hold it deep
inside.
No one can change mistakes we made in life so ease your
mind.

Cut down from sorrow's noose I blood let my regrets.
Withstand the persecution I kneel down in the light of
redemption in the knowledge that I can change my voice
resounding in the wind.
In the dawn of tomorrow's birth

[Spoken:]
And there we stood watching the flames die and drift up
as vapor.
The wounded draw slow to their feet in renewed
strength.
That there was a hope that never faded and never left
the depths of our hearts.
Mankind would rebuild its spirit our story and we would
be the legend the catalyst for a new generation.
The words, remembered carved into the stones that were
raised I was once bitter a hopeless man bathed in
despair and from the edge of death I was raised to walk
amongst the living.
My life, a legacy to the life I leave behind and to the
re-birth of my people.
