Rise

VERSE 1

Ash breath. Cold ground.

Lost until I heard the sound.

Heartbeat in the dust —

telling me to stand back up.

Cracked earth. Black sky.

Smoke still stings behind my eyes.

Every fall I’ve known —

built the steel inside my bones.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (rap)

No quit. No crawl.

I will rise above it all.

⸻

CHORUS

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Hear the echo of a soul renewing.

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Feel the fire in the dark pursuing.

⸻

VERSE 2

Bare feet. Scars bare.

Every memory’s hanging there.

But I walk right through —

nothing left to lose but truth.

Old wounds. Deep cuts.

Tried to keep my spirit shut.

But the storm I’ve been —

is waking up inside my skin.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (rap)

No quit. No crawl.

I will rise above it all.

⸻

CHORUS

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Hear the echo of a soul renewing.

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Feel the fire in the dark pursuing.

⸻

BRIDGE (chant-like / stomping rhythm)

Ash to ember —

ember to flame.

I return

with a different name.

Break the silence —

tear the night.

From the ruins,

I ignite.

FINAL CHORUS

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Hear the echo of a soul renewing.

Rise from ruin — rise from ruin.

Watch me burn — watch me burn right through it.
