Tiger Rising

[Verse 1]
On the first day of independence
I walked out onto the street
And there was a desert
For as far as I could see

On the second day of understanding
I turned into a tree
And I called out
But no one could hear me

[Chorus]
If you get the feeling that you can't go on
Know I will be singing this song
[?] horrible place
[?] face

[Verse 2]
Will we form our own constellation
The tiger rising in the sky
The strength of ages
The will not to die

Or has this illness gotten you
Will it kill you this time
I saw you dive head-first
Into a shallow pool of wine

[Chorus]
We ridе on the wave of a furious sea
Wе suffer into eternity
We climb our mountains of misery
Surrounding you, surrounding me
