Lyrics
Title: “Ashes & Thunder”
Verse 1
I’ve been walking through the fire again
Ash on my hands, but I don’t pretend
Every scar got a story to tell
I’ve been dancing too close to hell
Pre-Chorus
Feel that weight on my chest tonight
But I’m still standing in the fight
Chorus
I rise from the ashes, I carry the thunder
Heart like a drum going under and under
No, I won’t break, no I won’t run
I’ve been lost but I’m not done
I rise from the ashes, I carry the flame
Call me a sinner, don’t call my name
I’ve been down in the dirt so long
Now I stand where I belong
⸻
Verse 2
Cold wind howling through my bones
Truth cuts deeper when you’re alone
I’ve been chasing ghosts in the dark
Trying to light up a dying spark
Pre-Chorus
Every shadow knows my name
But I won’t drown in the blame
⸻
Chorus
I rise from the ashes, I carry the thunder
Heart like a drum going under and under
No, I won’t break, no I won’t run
I’ve been lost but I’m not done
I rise from the ashes, I carry the flame
Call me a sinner, don’t call my name
I’ve been down in the dirt so long
Now I stand where I belong
⸻
Bridge (slow, powerful)
Ohhh… I’ve been bleeding, I’ve been torn
Still I’m breathing through the storm
Ohhh… hear the echo, hear the sound
I was lost but now I’m found
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger, gospel energy)
I rise from the ashes, I carry the thunder
Louder and louder, I’m pulling you under
No, I won’t break, no I won’t run
This is where I come undone
I rise from the ashes, I carry the flame
Never again will I feel that shame
I’ve been down but now I’m strong
This is where I belong
