Phoenix in White

[Intro – airy synths, distant guitars]
Mmm… ohhh… (yeah…)
Falling… falling… (let me fall…)

[Verse 1]
I was driftin’ off the edge,
Halo cracked, my heart was dead, (dead inside)
Lost the light I used to hold—
Got tangled in my shadow’s fold. (couldn’t break free)
Flames were licking at my past,
Whispers sayin’ this won’t last,
But the fall hit harder when
I forgot who I’d been back then. (who was I?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Then through all the smoke, I heard a melody… (so faint…)
A quiet little mercy reachin’ out to me… (come save me…)

[Chorus]
I fell from grace, but I rose like a phoenix, (rise up!)
Ashes in my veins, but your voice, it redeemed it. (redeemed it…)
The gates of hell were blazin’, tryna claim my future— (back off!)
But your gentle song pulled me back like a healer. (pulled me back…)
Now we rise, rise, rise— (rise, rise!)
Through the burning and the fight—
Till we’re shining in the purely white evangelism,
Purely white evangelism… (so bright…)

[Verse 2]
Every step, the fire roared,
Promised me a darker door, (don’t go in…)
But you sang a quiet truth—
Soft and steady, pulled me through. (pulled me through)
Hands of light around my fear,
Suddenly the path was clear, (I see it now)
I could taste the sky again,
Feel redemption on my skin. (breathe again…)

[Pre-Chorus]
In the silence, still, your voice kept calling me… (calling me…)
A gentle hymn of hope that set my spirit free… (set me free…)

[Chorus]
I fell from grace, but I rose like a phoenix, (rise up!)
Ashes in my veins, but your voice, it redeemed it. (yeah…)
The gates of hell were blazin’, tryna shape my future— (they tried…)
But your gentle song pulled me back like a healer. (saved me…)
Now we rise, rise, rise— (rise, rise!)
Through the burning and the fight—
Till we’re shining in the purely white evangelism,
Purely white evangelism… (pure white…)

[Bridge – emotional, breathy, raw]
Ohhh, lift me higher— (higher…)
On wings rebuilt in holy fire. (burn it all away…)
Let the past burn out behind,
Let the white horizon blind… (blind me clean…)
You and me, we’re breakin’ through—
Heaven’s light in every move. (every move…)
From the ashes we ascend,
To the truth that never ends. (never ends…)

[Final Chorus – bigger, more emotional]
I fell from grace, but I rose like a phoenix, (I’m rising!)
Ashes in my veins, but your love, it redeemed it. (redeemed it…)
Hell’s own gates were open, reachin’ for my future— (not today!)
But your gentle song pulled me back like a healer. (pulled me back…)
Now we rise, rise, rise— (let’s rise…)
Higher than the darkest night—
Till we’re shining in the purely white evangelism,
Bathed in white evangelism… (so bright… so bright…)

[Outro – whispered, emotional]
Mmm… we rise… (we rise…)
We rise… (keep rising…)
Phoenix in white… (phoenix in white…)
