[Intro] Ash settles softly on the shield The iron dawn refuses to yield [Verse 1] You stood where the blackened banners fell With a cracked gold crest and a ringing bell I saw your hands, still calm, still bare Holding the line in the poisoned air [Pre-Chorus] If the gate gives way tonight Take my name into the fight [Chorus] Run through the fire, carry me Past every wound the eye can see Though every victory tastes like rain We rise, we break, we rise again You are the blade I cannot lose I am the heart beneath your bruise [Verse 2] The river carries the fallen steel The earth remembers the weight we feel Your voice cuts through the thunder's thread Calling the living back from the dead [Pre-Chorus] When the final horns sound low Promise me you will not go [Chorus] Run through the fire, carry me Past every wound the eye can see Though every victory tastes like rain We rise, we break, we rise again You are the blade I cannot lose I am the heart beneath your bruise [Bridge] No crown, no song, no promised shore Just one more step, then one step more If darkness takes the road ahead I will be there where you have bled [Final Chorus] Run through the fire, carry me Past every wound the eye can see Though every victory tastes like rain We rise, we break, we rise again You are the blade I cannot lose I am the heart beneath your bruise [Outro] Ash settles softly on the shield But somewhere underneath, we heal
