Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Ash on the altar, frost in the field A broken oath is refusing to yield You drew the boundary, i crossed it alone Carved every failure into stone [Pre-Chorus] You wanted silence I brought the storm You built a prison I changed its form [Chorus] Raise the flame, let the old world fall I will not kneel when the iron walls call Through the ruin, through the weight, through the night I carry the spark, i become the fight [Verse 2] Black water gathers beneath the gate Each drop remembers, each wound can wait You hear the footsteps beneath your throne The debt has a voice, and it knows your name [Pre-Chorus] No more surrender No borrowed breath I face the furnace And bargain with death [Chorus] Raise the flame, let the old world fall I will not kneel when the iron walls call Through the ruin, through the weight, through the night I carry the spark, i become the fight [Bridge] [Piano accents] A distant bell cuts through the smoke The quiet breaks, the chains are broke You cannot bury what learned to rise I see the dawn behind your eyes [Breakdown] Stand And answer Stand And take it back [Final chorus] Raise the flame, let the old world fall I will not kneel when the iron walls call Through the ruin, through the weight, through the night I carry the spark, i become the fight Raise the flame, let the cold sky split No hand can close what the heart has lit When the last stone sinks and the sirens die I walk from the ashes, alive [Outro]
