[Intro] Ash falls cold upon the path I chose Iron in my lungs, frost inside my bones Tonight the mountain bares its teeth I climb through ruins toward the light [Verse 1] Every stone cuts straight through my skin Every mile demands I give it all The easy road wore a friendly face Then buried me without a trace I dragged my doubt through fields of rain Counted every scar, engraved the pain When my knees struck broken ground I bit the dust and made no sound [Pre-Chorus] When the final strength inside me fades When the darkness closes in I hear a pulse beneath the earth A buried fire proving what I’m worth [Chorus] I rise up from the weight of the world With a heart that will not bend Let the heavens break, let black winds roar I’m not who I was before Through the ash, through the blood, through the years I walk straight through my fear At the summit, where the silence starts I reclaim every shattered part [Verse 2] Dust between my teeth, a blade within the wind Names of the lost carved underneath my skin Every detour showed me the truth Who stayed beside me, who vanished in youth I wore my sorrow like a chain at my side Still found a reason to open my eyes What tried to break me became my frame Forged under pressure, baptized in flame [Pre-Chorus] When the final strength inside me fades When the darkness closes in I hear a pulse beneath the earth A buried fire proving what I’m worth [Chorus] I rise up from the weight of the world With a heart that will not bend Let the heavens break, let black winds roar I’m not who I was before Through the ash, through the blood, through the years I walk straight through my fear At the summit, where the silence starts I reclaim every shattered part [Breakdown] No more crawling No more chains I’ll build a throne From all this pain Bury the doubt Smash the mask I paid in scars To open my eyes [Bridge] If I fall, let the mountain remember I faced the coldest December If I break, let the fragments remain Every shard still carries my name [Final Chorus] I rise up from the weight of the world With a heart that will not bend Let the heavens break, let black winds roar I’m not who I was before Through the ash, through the blood, through the years I walk straight through my fear At the summit, where the silence starts I reclaim every shattered part [Outro] The path grows quiet beneath my feet The chains fall silent, the climb complete I face the dawn with a battle-tested heart Not healed by forgetting — rebuilt from the scars
