[Verse 1 – God (male)] I walk on broken banners Rust in every crown Thrones of glass and grievance All come crashing down Your fear was once my fortress Your prayers A loaded scale I forged you hard in famine Still you rise Still you prevail [Verse 2 – Angel (female)] I drift above your embers Bare feet on the smoke I stitch your scattered stories In threads of ash and gold I drink your quiet courage Your songs through chattering teeth I bless the hands that tremble And plant new hope beneath [Chorus – Both] Raise your scars like banners high Crown of ash and halo sky March in rhythm Heart to heart (hey!) From the ruins Make new art We are dust and we are flame Broken Shining Still the same Sing it louder Don’t let go Crown of ash and halo glow [Verse 3 – God (male)] I carved the law in thunder In stone that wouldn’t bend But mercy cracked the mountain You taught the storm to mend I’m learning from your struggle From every quiet “still” The smallest Starving soldier Can shake a giant hill [Verse 4 – Angel (female)] I dance on iron anvils Turn chains into a chime I braid your battle stories Through every humble rhyme When night surrounds your fire And doubt is at your door I’ll hum your hidden courage Until you hear it roar (oh) [Chorus – Both] Raise your scars like banners high Crown of ash and halo sky March in rhythm Heart to heart (hey!) From the ruins Make new art We are dust and we are flame Broken Shining Still the same Sing it louder Don’t let go Crown of ash and halo glow [Bridge – Call & Response] [God]: Stand up Steel in your breathing [Angel]: Soft light Warm on your brow [God]: You were the prayer I needed [Angel]: You are the answer now [Both]: Step by step The drums are calling Feet on stone The dark is falling [Chorus – Both] Raise your scars like banners high Crown of ash and halo sky March in rhythm Heart to heart (hey!) From the ruins Make new art We are dust and we are flame Broken Shining Speak your name Sing it louder Let it show Crown of ash and halo glow (oh-oh)
