[Verse 1] Boot prints in the soot On a floor that knows my name I crawled through the blackout With my mouth full of flame My hands were black from the heap My lungs were carved by the fall Still I heard that old pulse Beating under it all [Pre-Chorus] I don't fear the crack I don't fear the heat Every broken piece Keeps time with me Call it ruin I call it proof I'm still standing Through and through [Chorus] I rise, I rise From the cinder pile I rise, I rise With a savage smile Burn me down I'll come back hard Cinder crown On a scarred-up heart [Verse 2] The smoke wrote my history On the inside of the wall Every name they buried Stands up when I call I wore the shame like armor Till it turned to steel Now the night can't chain me Now it knows I'm real [Pre-Chorus] I don't fear the crack I don't fear the heat Every broken piece Keeps time with me Call it ruin I call it proof I'm still standing Through and through [Chorus] I rise, I rise From the cinder pile I rise, I rise With a savage smile Burn me down I'll come back hard Cinder crown On a scarred-up heart [Bridge] [Half-time break] Bury the old skin Let the sparks run red I was lost in the ember Now I live in the thread One more breath One more roar Watch me claw Through the furnace floor [Final Chorus] I rise, I rise From the cinder pile I rise, I rise With a savage smile Burn me down I'll come back hard Cinder crown On a scarred-up heart I rise, I rise Hear the thunder start I rise, I rise With a scarred-up heart
