[Verse 1]
She was a stone
Yeah, a castle
Made of granite
And where she walked
Was only death
And only she could tame it
Her eyes like smoke
Would swallow any mountain
And when she spoke
The words were like fire
And all who heard
Fell silent in her wake
[Chorus]
She will rise
She will rise
She will rise
From heavenly dust
For the blood
Of the scum
And the filth
Who've stolen her trust
Gather up
Gather up
Gather up
Your sorrow and woe
For the sins
Of the past
With her hate
She'll never let go
She'll never let go
[Verse 2]
She was a star
Yes
A fiery drone of matter
And where she shone
Was only warmth
And life rose up to love her
Her hair like gold
Would fall upon her shoulders
But if she moves
To face your soul
Your heart will turn to stone
[Chorus]
She will rise
She will rise
She will rise
From heavenly dust
For the blood
Of the scum
And the filth
Who've stolen her trust
Gather up
Gather up
Gather up
Your sorrow and woe
For the sins
Of the past
With her hate
She'll never let go
She'll never let go
