[Verse 1] You stood where the sky split open Ash on your shoulders, unspoken You would not give the world your voice As if silence were your only choice You turned your back on mankind Carried their cruelty like rust in your ribs Except for the few You guarded like embers Hidden in the dark of your fists [Pre-Chorus 1] You were never broken — only cast out Never diminished — only devout To the ones you chose To the ones you keep And I am not afraid of the fire you breathe [Chorus 1] When you spoke It was not a whisper — it was reckoning Gold through the ruin, heat through the bone The sound of something ancient remembering It did not shatter me — it called me home When you spoke And you said my name without turning away All of your exile burned bright instead If you are fire that will not obey Then I am the one who stands in it, unafraid [Verse 2] You don’t have to raise your voice The room shifts when you move There’s a gravity about you That doesn’t need to prove Your hands are steady in chaos You don’t frighten — you shield You carry power like it’s simple Like it’s something you can wield [Pre-Chorus 2] You do not have to soften You do not have to bend I have seen the strength in you They could never comprehend You do not have to lessen The fire beneath your skin If this is what they call a fall Then let the rising begin [Chorus 2] Your voice Split the night wide open Laid bare the hollow in my chest All that you thought was ruin Turned radiant in your breath You stood Without shame in the falling And let me stand inside your flame If heaven calls that exile Then I will glorify your name [Final Chorus] Let it rise All the fire you carry Let it crown you in the dark You are not the wound of heaven You are its surviving spark Let it rise Every word you were afraid to say I will not answer you with retreat Azazel — If you burn, then I will stay And I will meet you in that heat
