Lyrics
[Intro] Muted strings carve a path through ash A distant bell refuses to fade [Verse 1] Beneath the iron-colored sky I count the names the fire spared The old road splits beneath my feet But i keep moving, unprepared Cold hands pull at the turning wheel Red dust settles on my tongue I hear the promise in the steel A war unfinished, never won [Pre-Chorus] Let the silence break Let the buried answer wake [Chorus] I rise where the ruined towers lean With a blade of light between my teeth No crown, no grave, no borrowed dream Will drag me underneath Through the blackened fields i run Toward the storm that made me numb If the end is waiting there I will meet it standing bare [Verse 2] The river carries broken glass And photographs with faces burned I take the truth from what has passed And leave the lessons unreturned Each scar becomes a compass mark Each breath a match against the cold I build a furnace in the dark And feed it everything i hold [Pre-Chorus] Let the silence break Let the buried answer wake [Chorus] I rise where the ruined towers lean With a blade of light between my teeth No crown, no grave, no borrowed dream Will drag me underneath Through the blackened fields i run Toward the storm that made me numb If the end is waiting there I will meet it standing bare [Bridge] Faster now, the ground gives way Steel and thunder mark the pace Every doubt is stripped away I can see the fire in its face [Breakdown] Cut the chain Split the stone Take the fear Make it known [Final chorus] I rise where the ruined towers lean With a blade of light between my teeth No crown, no grave, no borrowed dream Will drag me underneath Through the blackened fields i run Past the place where i came undone If the end is waiting there I will meet it standing bare [Outro] When the last red ember dies I keep the fire in my eyes
