Rise Through the Ashes (Remaster Edition)

[VERSE 1] [Male vocal (soft, tense, restrained melody)] Walls are closing in on every side I face Echoes of my failure trying to take my place Every step feels heavier than the last I’ve known Like I’m walking through the fire all alone Shadows call my name when I lose my grip Whispering I’ll never ever make it through this trip But something deep inside won’t let me lay it down Even in the ashes, I won’t drown [PRE-CHORUS] [Male vocal (building intensity, melodic strain)] I’ve been bent… I’ve been bruised… I’ve been torn apart Still there’s a fire that’s beating in my heart [CHORUS] [Male vocal (powerful, anthemic, soaring)] I rise through the ashes, I break through the night Every scar on my soul turns to light I was buried in doubt but I’m breathing again There’s a strength in my weakness I find within I won’t stay broken, I won’t stay down I was lost—but I’m being found [VERSE 2] [Male vocal (slightly more aggressive, rhythmic phrasing)] Every lie I believed tried to build my cage Every fear I held turned another page But every page I turned was a war I survived And somehow I’m still here, still alive I’ve wrestled with the dark in my own mind Searching for a peace I thought I’d never find But something calls me higher than the pain I know Like a voice in the silence saying “Go” [PRE-CHORUS] I’ve been low… I’ve been lost… I’ve been broken in two But I still believe there’s a way through [CHORUS] I rise through the ashes, I break through the night Every scar on my soul turns to light I was buried in doubt but I’m breathing again There’s a strength in my weakness I find within I won’t stay broken, I won’t stay down I was lost—but I’m being found [BRIDGE] If I walk through the valley, I will not fear Even in the silence, I know You’re near Every chain that held me starts to fall away In the breaking, I am made again today [FINAL CHORUS] I rise through the ashes, I break through the night Every scar on my soul turns to light I was buried in doubt but I’m breathing again There’s a strength in my weakness I find within I won’t stay broken, I won’t stay down I was lost—but I’m being found [OUTRO] “I rise… I rise…”
