[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Atmospheric Synth Wash, Tribal Floor Tom Pulse, Reverse Guitar Swells, Crackling Fire FX]
Smoke curls upward through the midnight glow
Every ending plants a seed below
Broken wings can still remember flight
Waiting for the spark tonight
[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Driving Bassline, Clean Delay Guitar, Steady Snare Groove, Subtle Synth Drone]
City lights flicker in the pouring rain
Every scar tattooed with loss and pain
But the embers underneath the dust
Still whisper hope to us
Ash and ruin scattered in the wind
Another chance about to begin
Every heartbeat pounding like a drum
Calling us to overcome
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Explosive Power Chords, Layered Harmonies, Cymbal Crashes, Soaring Synth Lead]
Can we rise from the ashes
Making mad dashes
(For the skies)
Can we rise
(Rise)
Can we burn through the night
Till the dark meets the light
(And survives)
Can we rise
(Rise)
[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Palm-Muted Guitar Rhythm, Pulsing Synth Bass, Echoed Vocal Layers, Driving Kick Drum]
Every failure feeding future flame
No one leaves this life the same
From the wreckage of what came before
We become something more
Falling down is just another phase
Fire reshapes us in countless ways
Every spark becomes a guiding sign
Drawing out the fire inside
[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Chant Vocals, Tom-Heavy Percussion, Rising Organ Pad, Atmospheric Guitar Feedback]
Ashes to ashes
(Stardust to stardust)
Betwixt
(Earth and Phoenix)
Gotta raise
(Raise up)
Fly
(Kiss the sky)
Ashes to ashes
(Stardust to stardust)
Between
(Shadow and sunlight)
We ignite
(Burn bright)
High
(We will survive)
Ashes to ashes
(Stardust to stardust)
[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Orchestral Synth Swells, Sustained Guitar Notes, Choir Backing Vocals]
From the ruins we climb
Outrunning the hands of time
Every blaze leaves a mark on the soul
But the fire makes us whole
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Anthem, Double-Time Drums, Harmonized Lead Guitar, Massive Vocal Stack]
Can we rise from the ashes
Making mad dashes
(For the skies)
Can we rise
(Rise)
Can we shatter the chains
Wash away all the pain
(Still alive)
Can we rise
(Rise)
[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Piano Chords, Ambient Fire Crackle, Slow Cymbal Wash, Distant Vocal Echoes]
Ashes falling like snow in the dawn
(Ashes to ashes)
(Stardust to stardust)
But the flame inside keeps moving on
(Ashes to ashes)
(Stardust to stardust)
Every ending fuels another life
Phoenix learns to rise.
