[Verse 1]
Ash on the armor
Dust in my lungs
Banner in tatters
But my will still stung
Rust on the gauntlet
Faith in the grip
Every scar on this shield
Is a vow I won’t quit
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve bled on this road
I’ve broken like stone
Eyes to the heavens
I march on alone
[Chorus]
Praise the sun
Let the fire flood my veins
If I’m broken
Let me burn
‘Til I’m blazing through the pain
Praise the sun
I am duty
I am flame
Standing tall
Grossly incandescent
Call my name
[Verse 2]
Gates full of giants
Choirs made of steel
Shadows like serpents
Curling at my heels
Laughter of monsters
Ringing in the dark
But their curses fall quiet
When I raise this spark
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve knelt in the dust
I’ve shaken
Undone
But every fall
Every fear
Turns to light when I run
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Oath on my shoulders
Crown made of scars
When the world turns its back
I reach for the stars
[full voice
Choir joins]
Let the sky split open
Let the daylight roar
If the night keeps coming
I’ll become the dawn once more
[Chorus]
