[Verse 1 – God (male)]
I walk on broken banners
Rust in every crown
Thrones of glass and grievance
All come crashing down
Your fear was once my fortress
Your prayers
A loaded scale
I forged you hard in famine
Still you rise
Still you prevail
[Verse 2 – Angel (female)]
I drift above your embers
Bare feet on the smoke
I stitch your scattered stories
In threads of ash and gold
I drink your quiet courage
Your songs through chattering teeth
I bless the hands that tremble
And plant new hope beneath
[Chorus – Both]
Raise your scars like banners high
Crown of ash and halo sky
March in rhythm
Heart to heart (hey!)
From the ruins
Make new art
We are dust and we are flame
Broken
Shining
Still the same
Sing it louder
Don’t let go
Crown of ash and halo glow
[Verse 3 – God (male)]
I carved the law in thunder
In stone that wouldn’t bend
But mercy cracked the mountain
You taught the storm to mend
I’m learning from your struggle
From every quiet “still”
The smallest
Starving soldier
Can shake a giant hill
[Verse 4 – Angel (female)]
I dance on iron anvils
Turn chains into a chime
I braid your battle stories
Through every humble rhyme
When night surrounds your fire
And doubt is at your door
I’ll hum your hidden courage
Until you hear it roar (oh)
[Chorus – Both]
Raise your scars like banners high
Crown of ash and halo sky
March in rhythm
Heart to heart (hey!)
From the ruins
Make new art
We are dust and we are flame
Broken
Shining
Still the same
Sing it louder
Don’t let go
Crown of ash and halo glow
[Bridge – Call & Response]
[God]: Stand up
Steel in your breathing
[Angel]: Soft light
Warm on your brow
[God]: You were the prayer I needed
[Angel]: You are the answer now
[Both]: Step by step
The drums are calling
Feet on stone
The dark is falling
[Chorus – Both]
Raise your scars like banners high
Crown of ash and halo sky
March in rhythm
Heart to heart (hey!)
From the ruins
Make new art
We are dust and we are flame
Broken
Shining
Speak your name
Sing it louder
Let it show
Crown of ash and halo glow (oh-oh)
