We Rise From The Ash

Verse

Snow packed hard where the longhouse burned

Black bone rafters, the lesson learned

I dug my hands through the frozen char

Found one coal still bright as a star

Wind took the roof but it left the flame

Carved my name where the timber lay

Sixteen winters since the fire came down

Still I'm standing on this haunted ground

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it breathing under the frost

Every ember knows what we never lost

Something in the dark refusing to die

Chorus

We rise from the ash

Bone and bronze and iron cast

Every wound becomes a crown

We rise when the walls come down

Feel it burning in the blood

Rooted deep beneath the flood

Nothing left can hold us back

We rise from the ash

Verse

River froze the day the banners fell

Iron gates rang out like a funeral bell

I carried embers wrapped in a hide

Walked through valleys where the old gods died

Now the forge is lit on the mountain side

Hammer strikes where the ashes hide

Every scar is a story told

Melted down to become the gold

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it breathing under the frost

Every ember knows what we never lost

Something in the dark refusing to die

Chorus

We rise from the ash

Bone and bronze and iron cast

Every wound becomes a crown

We rise when the walls come down

Feel it burning in the blood

Rooted deep beneath the flood

Nothing left can hold us back

We rise from the ash

Bridge

Let the old bones scatter into the wind

This is not the ending, this is where we begin

Every fallen banner, every broken throne

Feeds the fire till the fire is home

I'm not afraid of what the flames become

I am the ember, I am the sun

Chorus

We rise from the ash

Bone and bronze and iron cast

Every wound becomes a crown

We rise when the walls come down

Feel it burning in the blood

Rooted deep beneath the flood

Nothing left can hold us back

We rise from the ash
