No one's telling you to go on
No one's telling you not to quit
There may or may not be a pot of gold
If you wade through all the shit
Misdirection and confusion set in
Priorities always shift
In a disposable culture
Your fall from grace may be swift

Hold up your head
Tap into forces yet unseen
Look back to know where you have been
And hope there is much better to come

Chorus:
Rise from the hell of your own mind
There's no secret
You made the traps, so you should know
How to beat them
In the end you might just have
The last laugh over those who scorn
And never shed their blood
To rise from the hell of their own

No one said it would be easy
Around each corner lurks epic fail
But there's no harm in trying
If you're going down anyway

Hold up your head
Tap into forces yet unseen
Look back to know where you have been
And will forever leave behind

Repeat chorus

Doubting voices whisper to your ear
Where you're going you'll be alone
Resist the urge to let go
Now that you're this close
For up ahead there is the way out of this hole

Freezing cold wind
Blinding light assaults your face
Snap out of trance
Won't do to fall back in

Hold up your head
Tap into forces you have seen
Look back to know where you have been
Of which just memories will now live on

Repeat chorus
