[Verse 1] I wore the smoke like a crown Walked through the blackened ground My hands were full of embers Now they hold new light You found me bent, not broken I found my pulse still open The floor gave way beneath me Still I reached for sky [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the silence That's my name coming back Fist up, heart up, higher Watch the dark fall flat [Chorus] Rise from the ashes Rise, rise, rise Fire to feathers We are alive Rise from the ashes Take what remains Laugh at the ruin And dance in the flames (dance in the flames) [Verse 2] Boot prints in the cinder Gold where the hurt once lived Every scar is a doorway Every wound can give I taste the rain on iron You sing and I sing with you Two voices hit the skyline Nothing here can keep us blue [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the silence That's my name coming back Fist up, heart up, higher Watch the dark fall flat [Chorus] Rise from the ashes Rise, rise, rise Fire to feathers We are alive Rise from the ashes Take what remains Laugh at the ruin And dance in the flames (dance in the flames) [Bridge] We were the coal in the cold Now we are bright as dawn You and I, same heartbeat Nothing can stay gone [Final Chorus] Rise from the ashes Rise, rise, rise Fire to feathers We are alive Rise from the ashes Take what remains Laugh at the ruin And dance in the flames (dance in the flames) Rise from the ashes No more the pain We stand in the golden After the rain (after the rain)
