[Intro] From the smoke, from the stones From the kingdom overthrown I hear a heartbeat through the crashes I will rise from the ashes [Verse] Morning came like a hammer On the ruins of my name Every wall was down around me But I was breathing just the same I could see the road before me No velvet, no disguise Just a wounded man still standing With the sunrise in his eyes [Pre-Chorus] I have fallen through the fire I have crawled through the rain But a heart that keeps on beating Can be born again [Chorus] I will rise from the ashes I will stand where the old world crashes I won’t bow to the ghosts of my past I won’t live in the shadow it casts I will rise, I will rise With the flame still alive in my eyes From the wreckage, from the lashes I will rise from the ashes [Verse] I won’t build another palace I won’t forge another chain I won’t call my fear ambition I won’t worship my own name I will carry what I’ve broken I will mend what I can mend I will learn the road to freedom Doesn’t need a crown at the end [Pre-Chorus] I have fallen through the fire I have crawled through the rain But a heart that keeps on beating Can be born again [Chorus] I will rise from the ashes I will stand where the old world crashes I won’t bow to the ghosts of my past I won’t live in the shadow it casts I will rise, I will rise With the flame still alive in my eyes From the wreckage, from the lashes I will rise from the ashes [Instrumental] Guitars lift like wings in the daylight Drums hit hard like hope in the chest A solo flies over broken towers Like a soul refusing rest [Bridge] Let them say the story’s over Let them write my final line I have walked through my surrender And I found a deeper fight Not for glory, not for power Not for cheers that fade away But for every broken hour That still leads me into day [Breakdown] Ashes to breath Dust to flame Loss to truth Pain to name Fall to ground Ground to sky I was broken But I’m alive [Build-up] Raise me up, not as a king But as a heart that learned to sing Raise me up, not for a throne But for the strength to stand alone [Chorus] I will rise from the ashes I will stand where the old world crashes I won’t bow to the ghosts of my past I won’t live in the shadow it casts I will rise, I will rise With the flame still alive in my eyes From the wreckage, from the lashes I will rise from the ashes [Chorus] I will rise from the ashes Like a storm when the dark sky flashes I won’t run from the man I’ve been I will carry him home within I will rise, I will rise With a new kind of fire in my eyes From the silence, from the crashes I will rise from the ashes [Outro] From the smoke, from the stones I am more than overthrown Hear the heartbeat through the crashes I will rise from the ashes
