[Verse 1]
I came in bent
But I did not break
Black on my neck
Gold in my wake
You wore the shadow
Like it was mine
I wore the bruise
Like a holy sign
Hands in the flame
Still reaching for you
Smoke on my shirt
But I made it through
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who falls
When the room gets cold
Tell me who kneels
When the story's told
I taste the blood
I taste the rain
If I burn down
I come back again
[Chorus]
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
You can't take me down
Phoenix rise
Out of the fire
Phoenix rise
Love won't expire
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
I wear it proud
[Verse 2]
You were the wall
I was the spark
You liked the quiet
I liked the dark
Now I see clear
Through the smoke you sold
Your pretty throne
Was a lie made of gold
I kept your name
Like a knife in my coat
Cut through the doubt
Now watch me float
Heart in the blaze
Fist in the air
I lost your shadow
And I got back air
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who falls
When the room gets cold
Tell me who kneels
When the story's told
I taste the blood
I taste the rain
If I burn down
I come back again
[Chorus]
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
You can't take me down
Phoenix rise
Out of the fire
Phoenix rise
Love won't expire
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
I wear it proud
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Let the floor shake
Let the roof crack
I was lost once
Now I don't go back
Shadow on me
Then it split in two
I made a throne
Out of what you threw
[Final Chorus]
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
You can't take me down
Phoenix rise
Out of the fire
Phoenix rise
Love won't expire
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
I wear it proud
Ashen crown
I still stand now
Ashen crown
I wear it proud
