[intro] [Verse 1] Every life, breath, and beating heart Burns away, and it all falls apart Watch bonfires crumble so low Burning fire makes embers glow [Pre-Chorus] - driving] In the crucible of pain, we learn What we always knew in turn Destruction clears the way for rebirth Carbon waits to change the worth [Chorus - explosive] Charcoal to diamonds, shine in light Carbon eternal, forged in the fight Under the weight of worlds untold remains turn brilliant and bold Fire burns, consumes, and destroys Carbon eternal, reformed and reborn [Verse 2 - time signature, angular guitar] Graveyard dust, a loved one’s trace Gathered close in sacred space And every tear that ever fell Is now water for life to swell [Pre-Chorus - quiet, mostly vocal] In the crucible of pain, we learn What we always knew in turn Destruction clears the way for rebirth Carbon waits to change the worth [Chorus - guitar driven] Charcoal to diamonds, shine in light Carbon eternal, forged in the fight Under the weight of worlds untold remains turn brilliant and bold Fire burns, consumes, and destroys Carbon eternal, reformed and reborn [solo- multiple time changes, stretched notes and feedback] [Bridge - crisp snares, heavy symbols, noise rock] Burn me down, scatter wide Just to return on the other side Not as dust, but cut and clear Eternal echo, drawing near [breakdown - indie, acoustic guitar] and not at the end it just seems Waking from the endless dream Forever forged, forever new Carbon eternal… living through you [Outro – soft, fading] From the ash we rise again, life cycle again Silent, smoldering, shinning, without end ohhhhhhhhhhh without end [fade out] [end]
