Lyrics
[Intro] Ash settles over the iron field The last bell fades beneath the frost [Verse 1] You carried the weight of a borrowed crown Through a hall where the portraits stared Every promise was hammered down Every mercy was stripped and spared You kept one match in a weathered tin Under cloth soaked through with rain When the gates drew close and the drums began You lit the dark with a shaking hand [Pre-Chorus] No throne, no chain, no witness remains Only the choice you make [Chorus] Raise the fire, let it climb Cut a path through the falling sky When the old world calls your name Answer once, then break the frame Raise the fire, hold it bright Turn your fear into a battle cry Even buried beneath the stone You can build a road of your own [Verse 2] The river carried the names away But the scars stayed clear on the shore You found the map in a ruined chapel And the key beneath the broken floor With every mile through the mountain pass The silence learned your breath You were not saved by a guiding hand You were forged by surviving death [Pre-Chorus] No throne, no chain, no witness remains Only the choice you make [Chorus] Raise the fire, let it climb Cut a path through the falling sky When the old world calls your name Answer once, then break the frame Raise the fire, hold it bright Turn your fear into a battle cry Even buried beneath the stone You can build a road of your own [Bridge] Let the towers keep their hollow gold Let the banners rot in the wind You are more than the lie they sold You are more than the shape you were in [Instrumental break] [Breakdown] Stand up Breathe in Strike the lock Begin [Final chorus] Raise the fire, let it climb Cut a path through the falling sky When the old world calls your name Answer once, then break the frame Raise the fire, hold it bright Turn your fear into a battle cry Even buried beneath the stone You can build a road of your own [Outro] The frost gives way beneath your feet The road is yours to make
