Lyrics
Verse 1
(Male)
Ash on the anvil
Smoke in the rain
The gears still grind
Though the hands feel pain
A river of steel
Runs red through the night
This world it breaks
But it don't lose the fight
(Female)
The ivy it climbs where the mortar is gone
Through cracks in the brick
The roots carry on
The whispers of earth
They rise and consume
In the shadow of rust
There's a promise of bloom
Chorus
(Male and Female)
Rust and bloom
Decay and rise
Beauty born where the broken lies
The wheel turns slow
The seeds take root
Hope in the ashes
Truth in the soot
Verse 2
(Female)
Shadows of glass
Sharp on the ground
Splinters of past
Where the echoes resound
But in the shatter
There's room for the light
It cuts through the dark
Like the edge of a knife
(Male)
Iron will bend
But it won’t forget
The scars we wear
The lives we’ve met
Every collapse
It makes room for more
A dance of destruction
Renewal at the core
Chorus
(Male and Female)
Rust and bloom
Decay and rise
Beauty born where the broken lies
The wheel turns slow
The seeds take root
Hope in the ashes
Truth in the soot
