As I Rise - If I Die, Hang Me High lyrics

With the rope around my neck I’ll stand alone with my pride Where are you now? Where are those noble hearts? Your voice Ripples through my spine My heart keeps your secrets I hope yours keep mine It has been sung so many times "We only know what we've been told" And still we follow blinded Guided by lies Because mediocrity Is so comforting Why did you put That wild heart to sleep? What have you become? A weak pa**erby to everyone Loyal to the hand that strangles you What have you become? My knee will only touch the ground for the bond of love Not for fear or surrender like yours Not for fear or surrender like yours What have you become? Yearning for a life You are too idle to create Loyal to the mouth that bites you What have you become?
