  • There's a man who sees all there is to see
    What the future holds for all
    As the days grow dark with the grim and final warning
    Beware of the ones with invisible friends
    They will steal into your mind
    And all too soon the signs begin to show

    Rise up to the shining
    Live long live now
    Rise up to the shining
    Don't be blind by fools again
    Fools again

    As the pages turn and the story's told
    From the visions he's seen
    The house on the hill
    With the haunted eyes that call
    no one laughed as madness came out
    To play it's game
    If you stay too long you'll finally go insane

    Rise up to the shining
    Live long live now
    Rise up to the shining
    Don't be blind by fools again
    Fools again

    Bells will take their toll
    On your way
    There's no way we're born to shine
    Before our time, all your life
    You're on your own
    Lonely road
    Lost in a time
    Let the light lead your way
    To the golden throne
    It's the only way

    Rise up to the shining
    Live long live now
    Rise up to the shining
    Don't be blind by fools again
    Rise up to the shining
    Live long live now
    Rise up the shining
    Don't be blind by fools again

    Oh rise up, to the shining
    Wise up they're gonna steal your mind
    Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you
    No one laughed, no one cried
    You stayed too long
    You're finally gonna stay Writer/s: ANTHONY IOMMI
