the red sun it shines down on her face and she's calm
and she knows cause she chose
now its time she must go
and she's scared but aware she's prepared does she dare
face the fear and the shame with no one here to blame
she has waited so long she has begged she has prayed
on her knees as they bleed cause she wants to be free
with no guilt and no lies and she feels it inside
and so fierce is the fire of her burning desire.
she surrenders its time the last kiss was goodbye
in the silence she knows she will walk this alone
and she'll run and she'll hide and she'll fall and she'll cry
in the pain is the change as she's shifting the shape
of her life black is white in the dark deep below
cause the truth is the shadow that's under the stone
she'll fight on till she's done with no turning around
making peace with her soul
cause she's coming back home
the hero will rise
she will survive
and you will remember
the look in her eye
the hero will rise
the hero will rise
she will... survive.
on her own in the dark and her grip she has lost
and the time becomes toxic the wait is long
and her mind it is screaming and her body it thaws
but then love will remember
the heart beats on
the hero will rise
she will survive
and you will remember
the look in her eye
the hero will rise
she will survive
and you'll never forget it
the look in her eye
the hero will rise
the hero will rise
she will...survive.
she will survive
I will survive.
