ASHES OF EDEN

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.

I walked through hell,

And I survived...

I lost myself,

But I'm alive!

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'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.

I faced the fear!

I faced the flame,

And nothing left me quite the same!

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!

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!!!

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.
