Heart of Ash & Flame

Verse 1 I don’t wear halos, I’ve broken mine Left truth bleeding between the lines I’ve been the storm I swore I’d fight Held the match in my own firelight I’ve said things sharp, I’ve lost my way Let shadows choose the words I’d say But I don’t hide from what I’ve done I face the dark — I don’t outrun Pre-Chorus ‘Cause being light ain’t being clean It’s owning every in-between Chorus I carry ash, I carry flame Phoenix heart that speaks my name Dragon wolf beneath my skin Teeth and truth and where I’ve been I don’t claim I’ve always been right But I choose the truth over the fight Clan in my blood, not just a claim I rise in love, not just in flame Verse 2 Littlebird, they called me soft But soft still stands when things get lost I built my wings from shattered trust And learned that love still needs the truth of us This clan ain’t just a name I wear It’s every bond I choose to repair It’s showing up when it gets hard Not just the light — but every scar Pre-Chorus No crown without accountability No fire without humility Chorus I carry ash, I carry flame Phoenix heart that speaks my name Dragon wolf beneath my skin Guarding truth from deep within I’ve been the storm, I’ve been the rain I’ve held the hurt, I’ve owned the pain Clan in my bones, not just a name I rise in truth, not just in flame Bridge (Irish / Witchy Vibe Section) (soft, almost whispered with layered harmonies) Mo chroí i tine, mo chroí i bhfearg (My heart in fire, my heart in storm) Éirím arís, trí gach dearg (I rise again, through every scar) Fírinne fola, ní cheiltim níos (Blood truth, I hide no more) Mac tíre is dragan — ionam síocháin is círéib (Wolf and dragon — within me, peace and chaos) Final Chorus (Cinematic Lift) I carry ash, I carry flame Not here for pride, not here for fame Phoenix soul, I fall, I rise With open heart and honest eyes Dragon wolf, I guard this space With teeth, with love, with earned grace Clan is truth, not just a name We rise together — ash and flame Outro (soft, stripped back) I’m not perfect… I’m just real And that’s the oath I choose to feel
