ASCEND

Intro (low pad, distant pulse)

I’ve been buried in the silence

Felt the weight of every doubt

But the fire never left me

It was waiting to break out

Verse 1 (tight rock groove, restrained)

I’ve walked through smoke and ruin

Watched the world I built collapse

Every promise tried to break me

Every mirror staring back

Hands were shaking, knees were bending

But my spirit never bowed

From the ashes of the fallen

Hear the thunder in me now

Pre-Chorus (build, melody opens)

I was forged in the pressure

I was shaped by the pain

Every scar is a reason

Every loss is a flame

DROP 1 (EDM) (instrumental hook + chant)

Rise—rise—rise

From the fire, from the fight

Higher—higher—higher

I’m ascending through the night

Chorus (rock + melody, anthemic)

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

Built from the broken

I’m becoming who I am

No chains in the past now

No fear in my head

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

Verse 2 (bigger, more grit)

Tried to silence my heartbeat

Tried to tell me I was done

But you don’t kill the future

When the war’s already won

Every fall was a lesson

Every breath was a stand

I don’t crawl from the wreckage

I come back with a plan

Pre-Chorus (half-time feel)

I don’t run from the shadow

I don’t hide from the flame

If the climb takes everything

I’ll still rise all the same

DROP 2 (EDM – bigger) (vocal chops)

Rise—rise—rise

Let the world feel the sound

Higher—higher—higher

I was lost—now I’m found

Chorus (full power)

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

Built from the broken

I’m becoming who I am

No chains in the past now

No fear in my head

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

Bridge (breakdown → lift)

They tried to mark my ending

But they only drew the start

You can burn away the surface

You can’t kill a guarded heart

Count me out, write me off

Watch me rise beyond the end

Every time I hit the bottom

I come back a stronger friend

FINAL DROP (EDM + ROCK HYBRID)

Rise—rise—rise

Feel the fire in my chest

Higher—higher—higher

I’m not done, I’m not dead

Final Chorus (anthem, crowd ready)

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

This is resurrection

This is how it ends

No chains in the past now

No fear in my head

I rise out of the ashes

I ascend again

Outro (echo, space)

From the ashes…

I ascend.
