I, Rose (Dies Fiendi) Lyrics

(Spiritus vitae, spiritus sanctus

Inspiritus sanctus, spiritus sanctus)

(Dies Fiendi)

I rose from the ashes, didn't crumble in the fall

I am a fuckin' champion, hang my picture in the hall

I am strong, I am brave, I am courageous my friends

The thoughts of deceit lost in the end

I let the man die, so the woman could live

Gave her privilege, security, now I got nothing left to give

I gave my all, to the purity of truth

Laid down my hope, and chose to lose

For I!

Rose

What the bigots have against me all pales when opposed

To I rose, from the ashes of hate

Into a holy morning, that fateful day

Where I was bathed in the light of clarity

Saw my future, my past free from the haze of deceit

And there lay rose, I, me, myself, I

A brand new woman, as ancient as time

And she was held, loved, caressed back to life

By the saviours' blood, sweat, sweat, and tears

I rose from the ashes, didn't crumble in the fall

I am a fuckin' champion, hang my picture in the hall

I am strong, I am brave, I am courageous my friends

The thoughts of deceit lost in the end

(Spiritus vitae, spiritus sanctus

Inspiritus sanctus, spiritus sanctus)

(Dies Fiendi)

And here I stand, with the privilege of time

Aware of encroaching forces amassing in the night

I must go on, spit in the face of a rhyme

Reason with a beast, and step into the light

Though the dark it weighs me down, from within and without

The truth of my own being lets me walk with pride

And I'll swim for months, in the sea, pain and doubt

If the hope of a new morning stands on the other side

I rose

I rose

I rose

I rose

I rose

I rose from the ashes, didn't crumble in the fall

I am a fuckin' champion, hang my picture in the hall

I am strong, I am brave, I am courageous my friends

The thoughts of deceit lost in the end

I rose from the ashes, didn't crumble in the fall

I am a fuckin' champion, hang my picture in the hall

I am strong, I am brave, I am courageous my friends

The thoughts of deceit lost in the end

I rose

In the end

I rose

In the end

I rose

I rose

I am
