[Verse 1] Left in dust where the bodies lie, One last breath under blood-red skies, They thought they watched a dead man die, But I was still awake. Broken bones and a wounded pride, Lost my hand, but I kept my mind, Something whispered from the other side, And offered me a fate. Dragged through pain, but I did not crawl, Heard the truth behind it all, Saw the cracks inside the wall, Saw the empire bleed. Every noble, every throne, Every coward made of stone, I would take it for my own, And make the weak ones kneel. [Chorus] Oh, watch me rise from the fire, Climb from the dirt and the wire. I was broken, I was thrown, Now I’m coming for the throne. Oh, hear the empire calling, Hear the old kings falling. From the ashes, from the pyre, Watch me rise, watch me rise higher. [Verse 2] Came back cold with a sharper name, Not the man that they betrayed, Every scar became a flame, Every loss became a crown. I walked in while the palace shook, Every traitor turned to look, I had written every book On how to tear them down. No more begging, no more chains, No more kings with hollow names, I would cleanse the rot with pain, And call it destiny. When the ravens filled the sky, All the liars learned to cry, They could feel the reason why The empire chose me. [Chorus] Oh, watch me rise from the fire, Climb from the dirt and the wire. I was broken, I was thrown, Now I’m coming for the throne. Oh, hear the empire calling, Hear the old kings falling. From the ashes, from the pyre, Watch me rise, watch me rise higher. [Bridge] They left me where the shadows fed, They carved my name among the dead. But death was just a door to me, A darker way to see. I paid the price, I took the pain, I lost a hand, but gained a reign. Now every voice that doubted me Will kneel beneath the wings. [Final Chorus] Oh, watch me rise from the fire, Climb from the dirt and the wire. I was broken, I was thrown, Now I’m sitting on the throne. Oh, hear the empire calling, Hear the false kings falling. From the ashes, from the pyre, Watch me rise, watch me rise higher. Oh, watch me rise from the fire, Born from blood and dark desire. I was broken, I was thrown, Now the empire is my own. [Outro] Ooooh, from the battlefield I came, Ooooh, wearing ruin like a name. Ooooh, let them whisper, let them know, I rose from death, And claimed the throne. [End]
