Buried Treasure

Bury me deep beneath the tide of the deep black sea Tie and bind my wrists and ankles Throw me to the deep Sinking me like your anvil An anchor to steady your vessel You wanted me to drown You held my head down Under the weight of the burdens in your hand (Rise up) I still rise again Rise You knew that this wouldn't end You knew I'd rise up again You couldn't hold me down I'd break free from your burden I broke free from your burden You knew I knew how to swim With your weight tied to my limbs Your anchor pulling me down I had to break free from them I could no longer pretend I had to find myself I had to find myself I had to find the strength To rise up from the depths To come alive again I had to find myself I had to find myself I had to find the strength To come alive again
