Dm E Dm Db
Gm Bb A
[Verse]
Dm E
I've walked the coiling lines
Dm Db
Set back a hundred times
Dm Bb A
Winding through worlds of weary kings
(Once more to the first)
Dm E
Another crumbling hall
Dm Db
Another humbling fall
Gm A Dm
Once more the mourning bells will ring
[Chorus]
Bb
But I won't be kept down
Dm
I'll just keep on rising
E
Failure ever fading
A
Growth in every pain
Bb
I won't be kept down
Dm
Embers keep igniting
A
Suns will sink to shade
Dm
But always rise again
[Instrumental 1]
Dm Bb A (x2)
[Guitar solo]
Dm E Dm Db
Gm Bb A
[Verse]
Dm E
I've been a ghost of flame
Dm Db
A fading fire to claim
Gm A Dm
Lost in a world of aching shame
[Chorus]
Bb
But I won't be kept down
Dm
I'll just keep on rising
E
Failure ever fading
A
Growth in every pain
Bb
I won't be kept down
Dm
Embers keep igniting
A
Suns will sink to shade
Gm
But always rise again
[Instrumental 2]
Gm A Dm F
Gm A Dm
[Bridge]
Gm A
Look to the sun
Dm F
Hollow is the curse
Gm A
Now the end has begun
Dm
Once more to the first
Gm A
Look to the sun
Dm F
Hollow is the curse
Gm A
Beaten back, overrun
[Chorus]
Bb
But I won't be kept down
Dm
I'll just keep on rising
E
Failure ever fading
A
Growth in every pain
Bb
I won't be kept down
Dm
Embers keep igniting
A
Suns will sink to shade
Dm
But always rise again
[Outro]
