[Intro]
[soft solo violin over distant low strings]
The room is dim
My hands are still
Breathing in the bitter air
Tasting every spill
[Verse 1]
I drank the lies
Like broken glass
Let every shadow carve its name
Across my past
They cursed my blood
Said I was stained
Tried to salt the wounded ground
Where I remain
[Chorus]
But there’s no venom can stop me
Not in this heart
Not in these veins
You can bury me in your poison
I will rise
I will rise through the flames
From the ashes of all that you wanted me dead in
I will stand
I will stand
I’ll be the best you imagined
No venom can stop me
[Verse 2]
I’ve worn the blame
Like heavy chains
Counted every sleepless hour
Dripping down the pane
You called me lost
You called me less
But pressure turns the darkest stone
Into something blessed
[Chorus]
And there’s no venom can stop me
Not in this heart
Not in these veins
You can bury me in your poison
I will rise
I will rise through the flames
From the ashes of all that you wanted me dead in
I will stand
I will stand
I’ll be the best you imagined
No venom can stop me
[Bridge]
I walk through the cinders
Bare feet on the coal (ohhh)
Every scar a quiet answer
Carved into my soul
You want me broken
I bend instead
I drink the dark
And turn it red
[Chorus]
There’s still no venom can stop me
Not in this heart
Not in these veins
You can drown me deep in your poison
I will rise
I will rise through the flames
From the ashes of all that you wanted me dead in
I will stand
I will stand
I’ll be the best you imagined
From the blackest of nights where you swore I was ended
I will rise
I will shine
I’ll be the best—unchained
[Outro]
[full strings and choir swell]
No venom can stop me
Hear how the dark retreats
I was dust
I was broken
Now I’m fire on my feet (hey)
