Ascendant

[Intro] I ascended Out the dark, out the dust, out the fear they invented Now the sky bends every time that my hands get lifted I was buried in the ground, now I burn unended [Chorus] I ascended Out the dark, out the dust, out the fear they invented Now the sky bends every time that my hands get lifted I was buried in the ground, now I burn unended I ascended No more flesh, no more fate, no more walls to defend it I’m a storm with a pulse and a soul incandescent Tell the world when it looks to the clouds, don’t forget it I ascended [Verse 1] They built their world on ancient lies And called that order peace They fed us scraps, they drew the lines And swore we’d never leave But something deeper lit in me A hunger none could name Not for glory, not for gold But to become the flame [Pre-Chorus] Now I can hear the heavens strain Every time I breathe They wanted me beneath their feet Now they fall to me [Chorus] I ascended Out the dark, out the dust, out the fear they invented Now the sky bends every time that my hands get lifted I was buried in the ground, now I burn unended I ascended No more flesh, no more fate, no more walls to defend it I’m a storm with a pulse and a soul incandescent Tell the world when it looks to the clouds, don’t forget it I ascended [Verse 2] I was a shadow in the room A name they never said A living echo in the stone A fire they thought was dead But pressure makes a star from ash And silence breeds a cry So I tore open the veil at last And taught the dark to shine [Pre-Chorus] Now every wound became a spark Every scar became a sign They tried to lock away the sun But it was always mine [Chorus] I ascended Out the dark, out the dust, out the fear they invented Now the sky bends every time that my hands get lifted I was buried in the ground, now I burn unended I ascended No more flesh, no more fate, no more walls to defend it I’m a storm with a pulse and a soul incandescent Tell the world when it looks to the clouds, don’t forget it I ascended [Bridge] I am the fracture in the crown The flood behind the gate The final word they never thought Would drag them to their fate I am the voice inside the storm The curse they couldn’t bind And every hand that fashioned chains Will watch them come alive [Breakdown] No chains No throne No fear to call my own No cage No grave Just power they couldn’t tame [Final Chorus] I ascended From the ruin, from the rage, from the past that condemned it Now the stars shake every time that my name gets spoken I was nothing to them once, now their world is broken I ascended No more blood, no more bone, just a force unrepentant I’m the fire in the storm, I’m the end and beginning Tell the world when it falls to its knees, I was in it I ascended [Outro] Look up When the sky starts splitting That’s not the end That’s me living
