[Verse 1]
Ash on my hands
Smoke in my lungs
Breathing this hunger
Like a war just begun
Eyes on the blaze
It’s calling my name
I step through the embers
I’m done with the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar I’ve hidden
Glows in the heat
I was born in the shadows
I rise on my feet
[Chorus]
Burning desire
I’m touching the fire
Let it cut
Let it climb
Through the bone
Through the wire
Burning desire
I’m touching the fire
If this flame is my trial
I will walk through it smiling
[Verse 2]
Steel in my fists
Blood on my tongue
I taste the tomorrow
I’ve feared for so long
Strings start to scream
Like a thousand old sins
But the rage in my heartbeat
Drowns out the din
[Pre-Chorus]
Every doubt I worshiped
Falls to its knees
In the roar of the furnace
I finally breathe
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hear that distant choir
They’re calling me higher
I was made for this
Not to turn away
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
