Firelight Ashes

Verse 1 I was the shadow in your doorway The last goodbye you never said A quiet ghost inside the silence Sleeping alone inside our bed I held the pieces of forever While you were learning how to leave Now every tear became an ocean And every scar still breathes in me Pre-Chorus But broken hearts can learn to fly Even after they collide Chorus I rise like fire through the dark tonight Through every wound, through every lie You tried to bury all my light But love survived the flames inside And now I’m stronger than the fall I hear my soul above it all From ashes into endless sky I rise… I rise… Like a phoenix in your eyes Verse 2 I still remember every heartbeat Dancing beneath the city glow You were the dream I wrapped around me The only home I’d ever known But every promise turned to smoke clouds Every “forever” disappeared Still somehow love became my armor Even drowning in my tears Pre-Chorus And now the pain became my wings Feel the storm inside me sing Chorus I rise like fire through the dark tonight Through every wound, through every lie You tried to bury all my light But love survived the flames inside And now I’m stronger than the fall I hear my soul above it all From ashes into endless sky I rise… I rise… Like a phoenix in your eyes Bridge Watch me glowing in the ruins Watch me shining through the smoke You were the match that tried to break me But I became the flame you woke Now every heartbeat sounds like thunder Every step rewrites my fate I loved you more than life itself But I will love myself again Final Chorus I rise like fire through the dark tonight No more fear, no need to hide You couldn’t kill the soul inside I found forever in the fight And now the stars all know my name I turned my tears into a blaze From ashes into endless sky I rise… I rise… Like a phoenix born to fly Outro From the ashes From the pain I became the light again…
