Ash and Cinder 2 (version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Every window shatters in the heat

I hold your hand through the smoke and street

Burning down this place that never felt like home

Your eyes keep burning, they don't let go

We are not made for what we've known

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it coming down on us now?

Is this how freedom feels when it breaks through?

Hold my hand, let's walk into the light that pours

Ash and cinder, our only guide tonight

Chorus

Ash and Cinder

We are the ashes rising, we're not letting go

Ash and Cinder

Every brick comes down, every chain is broken in two

We are the fire we've been waiting for

Ash and Cinder

Let's walk into the flames and leave this all behind us now

Verse 2 – male vocal

The sirens scream as if they'd never found us

You're not afraid of what's left on the ground

Every wall that fell was one less line

I pull you close before the sun comes up again

No more pretending that we'll fit inside

These city streets, they've seen enough of our pride

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it coming down on us now?

Is this how freedom feels when it breaks through?

Hold my hand, let's walk into the light that pours

Ash and cinder, our only guide tonight

Chorus

Ash and Cinder

We are the ashes rising, we're not letting go

Ash and Cinder

Every brick comes down, every chain is broken in two

We are the fire we've been waiting for

Ash and Cinder

Let's walk into the flames and leave this all behind us now

Bridge – male vocal

Hold my hand, let it burn to ash

This city may not love but at least we'll have this

A sky so wide and black as coal

I never loved till I lost control

The ashes falling slow down on me now like snow

We don't need a name for the only way out of here

Chorus

Ash and Cinder

We are the ashes rising, we're not letting go

Ash and Cinder

Every brick comes down, every chain is broken in two

We are the fire we've been waiting for

Ash and Cinder

Let's walk into the flames and leave this all behind us now
