Ashes to Grace

(Verse 1)

I built my throne on broken stone,

Chased the fire, left love alone.

A father lost, a shadowed man,

Scars on hearts by my own hand.

Whispers in the silence call,

Photos turned face-down on the wall.

Tears of children, prayers of pain —

I walked away in selfish chains.

(Chorus)

But I'm crawling back through the fire I made,

Kneeling in the ash where my soul was flayed.

Reaching for the hands I betrayed,

Forgive me — let me be remade.

From ashes to grace, I rise again,

A man, a father, and God's broken friend.

(Verse 2)

Her eyes once warm now cold with doubt,

A home once full now hollowed out.

I see the truth, it cuts like steel —

The time is now to bend or kneel.

I hear the voice I tried to drown,

Echoes rising from the ground.

My son, my daughter, hear my cry —

I’d trade the world for one more try.

(Chorus)

So I'm crawling back through the fire I made,

Kneeling in the ash where my soul was flayed.

Reaching for the hands I betrayed,

Forgive me — let me be remade.

From ashes to grace, I rise again,

A man, a father, and God's broken friend.

(Bridge – Spoken/Screamed)

I don’t deserve your mercy — but I’ll bleed to earn your trust.

I don’t deserve your love — but I will rise from rust.

Father above, hear my vow —

I won’t fail them now.

(Breakdown – Heavy riff + double kick)

No more lies — no more flight.

I'll stand in truth, I'll fight what's right.

A soul restored, a will refined,

I leave my sins in flames behind.

(Final Chorus – Soaring, clean + screamed vocals)

I'm crawling back through the fire I made,

Bathed in light where the shadows fade.

I’m holding the hands I once betrayed,

Forgiven — I have been remade.

From ashes to grace, I rise again,

Reborn in love — a faithful man.
