[VERSE 1 — RAP]
I remember every night I thought I'd never see the dawn/
Every bridge I watched collapse, every friend that moved on/
Every promise that was broken, every scar that remained/
Every lesson that was written in the language of pain/
I was buried by the weight/
I was drowning in regret/
Had a thousand reasons why/
I should've given up instead/
But the fire never left me/
Even when I lost my way/
There was something in the darkness/
Still demanding that I stay.
[PRE-CHORUS — METAL]
I walked through hell,
And I survived...
I lost myself,
But I'm alive!
[CHORUS — FULL BAND]
From the ashes of Eden,
I rise again!
Every wound became a weapon/
Every loss became a friend/
From the ashes of Eden,
I won't break!
I won't bend!
The fire tried to take my soul,
But I'm standing in the end!
[VERSE 2 — RAP]
I've been counted out/
I've been written off/
I've been told that I would never be enough/
But pressure makes diamonds/
And struggle makes steel/
You learn who you are/
When the pain becomes real/
Now I'm staring at the ruins/
Of the man I used to be/
And for the first time in my life/
I like what I see/
Cause the storms didn't destroy me/
They revealed what remained/
And what survived the destruction/
Could never be chained.
[PRE-CHORUS — METAL]
I faced the fear!
I faced the flame,
And nothing left me quite the same!
[CHORUS — FULL BAND]
From the ashes of Eden,
I rise again!
Every wound became a weapon/
Every loss became a friend/
From the ashes of Eden,
I won't break!
I won't bend!
The fire tried to take my soul,
But I'm standing in the end!
[BREAKDOWN]
METAL:
RISE!!!
RAP:
They thought the fire would finish me/
METAL:
RISE!!!
RAP:
They thought the pain would bury me/
METAL:
RISE!!!
RAP:
Every scar became a lesson/
Every failure became fuel/
METAL:
RISE!!!
BOTH:
I AM STILL HERE!!!
[FINAL CHORUS]
From the ashes of Eden,
I rise again!
Every wound became a weapon/
Every loss became a friend/
From the ashes of Eden,
I won't break!
I won't bend!
The fire tried to take my soul,
But I'm standing in the end!
I'm standing in the end.
