Up Through the Ashes

Kamelot · Ghost Opera: The Second Coming [2008]

So you can heal

They claim with conviction

You got a crowd

So what's your appeal

Your voice

Your predictions

They're getting loud



Well if I let you die

You must forgive me



Raise me up

Up through the ashes

[Welcome the paradise you made]

Take me on

Into the light



You want to die

Create a sensation

Be making the news

An eye for an eye

My king of creation

King of the jews



Before I let you die

You must forgive me



Raise me up

Up through the ashes

[Welcome the paradise you made]

Take me on

Into the light



Give me sign of remorse

I don't need your blood

You will hang on the cross

For playing god



You the people must decide

The self proclaimed prophet

Or the malice murderer

The king or the convict

It's up to you

So tell me

Who's free to go



(Barabbas, Barabbas, Barabbas!)



Raise me up

Up through the ashes

[Forgive my every sin]

Take me on

Into the light
