[Verse 1]
I walked out in soot
With my name half-burned
Boots full of cinders
Hands that never turned
The old pipes cried low
Like bones in a wall
Cellos dragged the ground
Till the dark made me crawl
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then another
Through the ember rain
I kept my head high
I kept my teeth in flame
[Chorus]
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
I rose with the smoke
I rose on my own
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
You wanted my fall
Now watch me hold
[Verse 2]
Cold iron on my tongue
Black salt in my mouth
Every door I touched
Folded inward south
The drums hit like verdicts
Then slipped in the void
I heard my old fear
Get split and destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then another
Through the ember rain
I kept my head high
I kept my teeth in flame
[Chorus]
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
I rose with the smoke
I rose on my own
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
You wanted my fall
Now watch me hold
[Bridge]
I was made in the ruin
I was shaped by the night
Every scar on my skin
Got me closer to right
[Final Chorus]
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
I rose with the smoke
I rose on my own
Path from fire to throne
Path from fire to throne
The ash knows my name
And bows when I show
