[Verse 1] I woke in a crater of bone-white dust Hands blackened stiff from the fall The house was gone, the name was gone But the pulse in me beat through it all Iron in my throat, grit in my teeth I dragged my shadow to the door Every scar was a chain I wore So I broke them on the floor [Pre-Chorus] Hear that sound? That’s the ground giving way Hear that howl? That’s the dead on my name [Chorus] From the ashes, I rise From the ashes, I rise Burn me down, I’ll still survive From the ashes, I rise (Rise) (Rise) [Verse 2] I walked through rain on a field of cinders With a storm in my lungs and flame in my veins Found my fear in a rusted mirror And I laughed at the face it made No more kneeling, no more pleas No more begging the night to stay I learned my pain has teeth and claws So I made it bite the chain [Pre-Chorus] Hear that sound? That’s the gate breaking loose Hear that roar? That’s my blood running through [Chorus] From the ashes, I rise From the ashes, I rise Burn me down, I’ll still survive From the ashes, I rise (Rise) (Rise) [Bridge] I was buried alive in the wreckage I was fed to the cold and the dust Now I’m carved out of fury and fire Now I’m made of what they lost Stand back I am the spark in the pile Stand back I am the storm in exile [Final Chorus] From the ashes, I rise From the ashes, I rise Nothing left to sacrifice From the ashes, I rise From the ashes, I rise From the ashes, I rise Burn me down, I’ll still survive From the ashes, I rise (Rise) (Rise)
