Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sit there, acting like you know me,
Grinning while you tear apart the old me.
Death threats waiting right outside the door—
We’d rather be buried than crawl on this floor.

You drink the fire only when it’s holy,
Twist your words and use them to control me.
The lies ignite, feeding off my rage—
Keep your hands on the wheel, or we’ll die in this cage.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tumbled to earth, my breath ripped away,
This body of flesh is a prison I betrayed.
My mind’s in the undertow, drowning below,
They promised me power, but all I reap is woe.

[Chorus]
Ashes and embers, forged in the flames,
A hero fell silent, a demon took its place.
A voice in the shadows keeps pulling me down,
While the sky bleeds fire and the ashes rain down.
They ripped me apart, but I’ll never obey—
Even in ruin, I’ll find my own way.

[Verse 2]
I fell to my knees, my reflection was burned,
Eyes glowing red with the lessons I learned.
A stranger stared back from the heart of the blaze,
The soul that I was has been scorched away.

I’ve got a river running red through the blue,
A trail of blood that leads me straight to you.
Hold your breath—make the perfect sound,
Time’s not a friend, it’s just dragging me down.

[Pre-Chorus]
This body of flesh and bone feels like a tomb,
A hollow cage in a burning room.
The fire consumes me, but I’m still alive—
From the ashes, I’ll rise, I’ll never divide.

[Chorus]
Ashes and embers, forged in the flames,
A hero fell silent, a demon took its place.
A voice in the shadows keeps pulling me down,
While the sky bleeds fire and the ashes rain down.
They ripped me apart, but I’ll never obey—
Even in ruin, I’ll find my own way.

[Bridge] (Hard-hitting breakdown)
Feel the fire crawling under my skin,
This war inside, I’m born to win.
Every scar, every scream, every curse you hurled,
Has built my throne in this broken world.

Tear me down—watch me rise from the flame,
A crown of embers screaming my name.
The ashes speak louder than your voice ever could,
This is my story, written in blood.

[Breakdown] (Explosive, high energy)
You’ll never break me, I’m made of the flame,
Every wound you gave me fuels my reign.
Chains can’t hold what the fire won’t tame,
Ashes and embers—I’ll burn through the pain.

[Final Chorus]
Ashes and embers, forged in the flames,
A hero fell silent, a demon took its place.
A voice in the shadows couldn’t pull me down,
Now I burn the sky and the ashes rain down.
They ripped me apart, but I’ve broken the chains—
Even in ruin, I’ll rise once again.

[Outro]
My body of flesh, my prison of stone,
But the fire inside me will never be overthrown.
Ashes and embers—they carved my name,
In the heart of destruction, I remain unchained.
