From Shadows Lyrics by Jeff Williams

RWBY, Vol. 1 (Music from the Rooster Teeth Series)

2013

[Instrumental Intro]
Intruder, identify yourself

[Verse 1: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
Born with no life
Into subjugation
Treated like a worthless animal
Stripped of all rights
Just a lesser being
Crushed by cruel, ruthless human rule

[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
When it started
All we wanted was a chance to live our lives
Now in darkness
Taking anything we want and we will rise
We'll rise, we'll rise

[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams, Jeff Williams & Both]
From shadows
We'll descend upon the world
Take back what you stole
From shadows
We'll reclaim our destiny
Set our future free
And we'll rise
And we'll rise

[Post-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams, Jeff Williams & Both]
Above the darkness and the shame
Above the torture and the pain
Above the ridicule and hate
Above the binding of our fate

[Verse 2: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
Call us liars
Degenerates and killers
Psychos, heartless, insane criminals
Stupid mutts and
Nothing but pure evil
Primal bloodshed is all that's left to do

[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
We're misguided
Treated like we're criminals and we should hide
Born indicted
Tired of being pushed around and we will fly
We'll fly, we'll fly

[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
From shadows
We'll descend upon the world
From shadows
We'll reclaim our destiny

[Instrumental Outro]
