Rise From Ashes

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you sit there, thinking you can own me,
Dragging me down, feeding lies that choke me.
Whispers of death hang heavy by the door,
But I’d rather be six feet under than crave you anymore.

And if you had a problem, why didn’t you say it?
Instead, you twist the knife, acting like you’ll break it.
You only sip from the water when you call it divine,
But it poisons us both, and it’s your hands, not mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
I fell from the heavens, torn from the sky,
This body of flesh a cell where I’ll die.
My mind’s in the undertow, screaming below,
Promised me freedom, but it’s pain that I sow.

[Chorus]
Shattered by lies, drowning in the flood,
A demon’s born where a hero once stood.
Flames kissed the sky, and ashes rained down,
They tore me apart, but I won’t be bound.
Even in ruin, I’ll claw my own way,
Through shadows and fire, I’ll outlive the decay.

[Verse 2]
Grieving a ghost of someone I once knew,
A hollow reflection where I’d see the truth.
The preacher speaks, calling us sinners all,
But he plays his games, watching us fall.

This body aches, my spirit in chains,
Cursed by the gods but still I remain.
My lips drip sin, my hands taint the air,
I pull you closer, let you taste despair.

[Pre-Chorus]
I knelt before the fire, staring at the void,
A heart made of rage, a soul destroyed.
The pieces of me scattered like ash,
And all I could whisper was my forgotten past.

[Chorus]
Shattered by lies, drowning in the flood,
A demon’s born where a hero once stood.
Flames kissed the sky, and ashes rained down,
They tore me apart, but I won’t be bound.
Even in ruin, I’ll claw my own way,
Through shadows and fire, I’ll outlive the decay.

[Bridge]
My lips taste like sin, my lies cut deep,
I burn through the night, no rest, no sleep.
A river runs red, a blood trail divine,
But this pain’s my power, it’s only mine.

(Builds intensity)
You can’t break what’s already torn apart,
My shadow’s my weapon, my fire, my art.
I’ll fight through the wreckage, rise through the flames,
Let the ashes remember my name.

[Breakdown]
I can’t escape myself, no matter how I try,
The rage inside still whispers, “You’ll never die.”
Somebody wake me from this hell I’ve become,
Help me tame the monster or let me come undone.

[Final Chorus]
Shattered by lies, drowning in the flood,
A demon’s born where a hero once stood.
Flames kissed the sky, and ashes rained down,
They tore me apart, but I won’t be bound.
Even in ruin, I’ll claw my own way,
Through shadows and fire, I’ll outlive the decay.

[Outro]
My lips like sin, my body’s a grave,
But the fire inside me will never fade.
From heaven to hell, divine to the damned,
I’ll rise from the ashes—this is where I stand.
