Burning Ember (version 2)

Verse 1

Concrete turns to molten lead

My footsteps leave the dead behind

Ropes of smoke across my skin

I'm carrying embers from within

Every step becomes a spark

Nothing holds me back tonight

Pre-Chorus

Let it all go like the morning sun

Leaving ash where shadows have been done

Chorus

Burning ember, burning ember

Move your feet and watch the darkness tremble

Burning ember, burning ember

I'm not gone, I'm just a little older

Burning ember, burning ember

Let it burn before we hit the morning

Verse 2

Glass that shattered holds a piece of light

I've been walking through this city all night

Your voice is fire in my chest tonight

A thousand voices turn to one great fight

Every streetlamp casts its golden glow

We're not just moving, we're letting go

Pre-Chorus

Let it all go like the morning sun

Leaving ash where shadows have been done

Chorus

Burning ember, burning ember

Move your feet and watch the darkness tremble

Burning ember, burning ember

I'm not gone, I'm just a little older

Burning ember, burning ember

Let it burn before we hit the morning

Bridge

Hold the flame with both hands high

We're not leaving, we are rising up tonight

Hold the fire until the city wakes

Then let's walk into whatever waits
