Bitter Bloom (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Bitter bloom on the iron tongue

Steel veins humming where the old ones hung

Every scar is a song I keep

The weight of the winter still sleeps

Bloodlines written in frost and flame

I am the ember that never learned my name

Sparks in the blackwater, salt on my skin

This is how we rise up again

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing from the roots to the throat

Something ancient won't let me go

Rattle the gates, break through the rust

Let the current carry what I was

Chorus

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Every wound is a flower that refuses to die

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Bitter and wild as the heartbeat that drives me higher

Verse

Black forest burning where the ancient ones stood

Ash turns silver when the winter's blood runs through

Spine made of steel, hands like a storm

This is how we learn to call what we're born for

The old ones whispered down through the coal

Every shadow was just a heart that couldn't hold

I keep their embers lit beneath my skin

This is how I rise from where they began

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing from the roots to the throat

Something ancient won't let me go

Rattle the gates, break through the rust

Let the current carry what I was

Chorus

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Every wound is a flower that refuses to die

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Bitter and wild as the heartbeat that drives me higher

Bridge

Not petals, steel

Not sunrise, blizzard

I will not forgive what made me this

I will not let it take my voice again

Rust burns gold when the current runs true

Every scar is a proof I'm standing anew

Let them call me wild, let them say I'm too loud

This is how we rise up from every wound

Chorus

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Every wound is a flower that refuses to die

I bloom in the fire, I bloom in the fire

Bitter and wild as the heartbeat that drives me higher
