Hope and Turmoil / Rise, Ashen One

Music: Juuso Virnes
Lyrics: Juuso Virnes

You took your chances, went along
Now you're hurt and don't belong
And the vultures are closing in
Lost your spirit, lost your soul
How much more can you behold?
And the vultures are closing in

Sadness, hate and fear
It's all that's left to feel here
Time for you to turn the page

Rise, ashen one, rise
Don't look back, don't cast your own demise

In this malevolent world
In the eye of the storm
you will never be heard
You will never be born

Through this pain
you will see the morning sun rise
Step outside
Maybe one day
you won't feel the cold inside yourself
Step outside
and run!

The lies they threw at you like dirt
No more will they make you hurt
Let the hollowness be gone
Free to be yourself once more
The path ahead brighter than before
Let the hollowness be gone

(Solos: Virnes / Pettersson)
