[Verse 1]
I wake in the red fog
With ash on my tongue
A broken city kneels
To the sound of the undone
Your mask hides the hunger
But I know that stare
We bleed in the ruins
And still we climb from there
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand through the thorn
Hold my hand through the black
If the world wants our bones
We’ll come back
[Chorus]
Vein of ash, run through me
Vein of ash, set me free
We rise, we rage, we won’t decay
Vein of ash, lead me away
[Verse 2]
Relic eyes in the fire
White chapel, cracked stone
Every door wants a sacrifice
Every path cuts to bone
I carry your silence
Like a blade in my chest
If I become the monster
Will you love me the best?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand through the thorn
Hold my hand through the black
If the world wants our bones
We’ll come back
[Chorus]
Vein of ash, run through me
Vein of ash, set me free
We rise, we rage, we won’t decay
Vein of ash, lead me away
[Bridge]
[Male screaming vocals]
Bury the beast in my throat!
Bury the fear in the flood!
I won’t kneel to the hunger
I won’t drown in the blood!
[Female vocals]
If I fall into the dark
Call my name and I’ll return
With a crown made of fractures
And a heart that still burns
[Chorus]
Vein of ash, run through me
Vein of ash, set me free
We rise, we rage, we won’t decay
Vein of ash, lead me away
