[Verse 1]
Cold floor
Smoke in my lungs, I’m sore
Cut teeth
On every locked, rusted door
They said “stay down”
Wrote me off as a lost cause
Bare feet
Glass in the street, but I still walk
Scarred knuckles on the table (yeah)
Blueprints in the coffee stains
Turn pain into a staple
Write dreams in the water mains
[Chorus]
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
Beat-down hearts into classics
They’ll carve our names in the cracks, too
Fist in the air when it all falls through (hey!)
Still stand tall when the storm blows through
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
[Verse 2]
Black nails
Ink on my hands, that’s proof
I bled
Every line, every hard truth
They laugh
Till the ground shakes under my moves
Dead ends
Turn to a path when I push through
Streetlights on my cheekbones
Rain runs off my face like war paint
Past life in my cheekbones
New life in the rush of this same pain
[Chorus]
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
Beat-down hearts into classics
They’ll carve our names in the cracks, too
Fist in the air when it all falls through (oh yeah)
Still stand tall when the storm blows through
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, just kick and claps]
Clap once for the ones who fell
Clap twice for the ones that stayed
Three times for the ones in hell
Still building heaven from the flames (hey!)
[Chorus]
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
Beat-down hearts into classics
They’ll carve our names in the cracks, too
Fist in the air when it all falls through
Still stand tall when the storm blows through
We will rise again from ashes
From ashes to statues
