[Verse 1]
Ash on my hands
Smoke in my hair
I walked through winters
Thin as a prayer
Bare feet on frost
Sky made of stone
I learned to carry
Cold on my own
[Chorus]
I am forged in Brigid’s fire
Rising through the storm and mire
Hammered by the night
Lifted by the dawn
I am forged in Brigid’s fire
Every scar a silver wire
Holding me together
Burning
Burning on
[Verse 2]
Rain hit like glass
Bitter and hard
Wind tore the roof
Splintered the yard
Still in the dark
Embers would glow
Tiny
Defiant
Breathing below
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Let the river roar around me
Let the thunder shake the sky
I will stand inside the hearthstone
I will blaze
I will not hide [crescendo]
[full voice] From the anvil and the ashes
From the sorrow and the flame
I step out with copper courage
Call my soul by its true name
[Chorus]
