Rising Like Ash (versione 2)

Verse 1

Concrete walls before the dawn broke clean

Bassline shaking through my ribcage seam

Every scar was proof of where I've been

Spitting fire into the silver screen

Cold steel in my hand against the crowd

Choking on smoke but refusing loud

Three years working just to make the rent disappear

Now this is all that left me standing here

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through your spine?

Is it fear or faith I'm not defined by

Chorus

I rise like ash before the sun turns gold

Every shadow shaking off what I've been told

No one's gonna stop this, no one holds my weight

Rising like the dawn across a hundred acres of hate

Verse 2

Dropped out school when the hunger started to bite

Sleeping on floors that reeked of cigarette and light

Every night was a fight for five dollars on the floor

Now I'm standing tall with nothing left to lose no more

The DJ spins it loud, the speakers cut my skin like glass

This is everything I lost but never gonna let it pass

Sweat dripping silver down my jawline's edge

Nothing can take this from me — nothing left to pledge

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through your spine?

Is it fear or faith I'm not defined by

Chorus

I rise like ash before the sun turns gold

Every shadow shaking off what I've been told

No one's gonna stop this, no one holds my weight

Rising like the dawn across a hundred acres of hate

Bridge

This ain't redemption, it's just proof that I'm alive

I don't need forgiveness — just enough to survive

Ashen on my collarbone where the smokestacks stood tall

Every step forward feels heavier than the fall

Chorus

I rise like ash before the sun turns gold

Every shadow shaking off what I've been told

No one's gonna stop this, no one holds my weight

Rising like the dawn across a hundred acres of hate
