Rise From The Ashes lyrics

The silence that once used to stifle my breath Is now the very pulse that conquers death The shadows that fear used to cast on my way Are nothing but echoes now fading to gray The scorched earth I walked through, so barren and dry Held the seed of the man who is reaching the sky I feel it pulsing, the blood’s inner fire The end was the spark for the soul to aspire No longer in chains, no more walls in my sight The darkness is gone as I follow the light The pain was the flame where my spirit was cast The weight of the world couldn't hold to the last Rise from the ashes, I’ll stand once again Leaving behind all the ghosts and the rain I lift up my head, looking high to the blue I am the Phoenix, breaking right through! The Sea of Grief is now far in the past Beneath the surface, I found peace at last Every scar is a map of a glory won A trace of the wars and the deeds I have done What once was broken, time healed with its hand The soul in the dark now blooms over the land From the ashes the past had once left on the floor A new kind of strength has walked through the door The veil of the sorrow can't hold me in thrall I rise with the winds, standing steady and tall The weight of the world couldn't pull me down far I'll rise from the ashes and shine like a star Rise from the ashes, I’ll stand once again Leaving behind all the ghosts and the rain I lift up my head, looking high to the blue I am the Phoenix, breaking right through!
