We Rise From the Ashes – Fire, Ash, and the Name We Leave

[Intro — ethereal female choir, wordless] Ah— Ah—ah— [Verse 1] I stood where faith was broken Where promises turned to flame Every truth I held as sacred Fell like ashes in my name [Verse 2] I felt the heat inside my chest Not mercy, not relief It was love that learned to burn When it could no longer believe [Pre-Chorus] I asked the dark to take me whole It answered with a scar Not everything that breaks you Is meant to tear you apart [Chorus — first rise] Let it burn, let it hurt Let the fire leave its mark I won’t turn into the silence I won’t disappear in the dark If the world is ending now I will stand inside the flame Say my name through smoke and thunder I am still the same [Interlude — female choir, sacred, airy] Ah—oh— Ah—oh— [Verse 3] I walked through fields of embers With nothing left to save But every step I took forward Carved a future from the blaze [Pre-Chorus 2] I am not the light I followed I am not the dream I lost I am what remains unbroken When belief has paid its cost [Chorus — full power] Let it burn, let it rise Let the fire take its claim I was born from what was taken I was shaped by what remained If the sky is falling open If tomorrow has no face I will sing into the ruin I will not waste the flame [Bridge — stripped, emotional, female choir rising] From the ashes, I remember From the fire, I choose to breathe Every ending writes a question Every scar still lets me speak [Final Chorus — declaration, choir stacked] Let it burn, let it blaze This is not the final day Every spark becomes a future Every loss still lights the way If the world begins in fire If this moment is my name I will rise and call it living I will rise and stay [Outro — sustained female choir + lead vocal] Ah—oh— Ah—oh— I rise.
