Out of the Ashes

All the ghostly streets are bare

The boarded windows scream despair

And I walk on

There used to be a city here

When hope was full and dreams were clear

But now they're gone

Through rusted memories

Our sleepless eyes see

Night surrender into the dawn

Out of the ashes comes a new fire

Turning the darkness into a burning sun

Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward

I will rise like a bullet that's flying

From Heaven's gun

Heaven's gun

Iron hands of trusted kings

Have stolen almost everything

And called it even

Deep in my own conquered heart

Tomorrow is a work of art

I still believe it

They didn't kill me

Someday it will be

My turn at the top of the world

Out of the ashes comes a new fire

Turning the darkness into a burning sun

Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward

I will rise like a bullet that's flying

From Heaven's gun

It's not about destiny

It's not about fate

It's all about courage

And refusing to break

It's all about living up

All about not giving up

Would you walk through hell to find yourself?

You can hold your head up while this world goes down in flames

Out of the ashes comes a new fire

Turning the darkness into a burning sun

Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward

We will rise like a bullet that's flying

From Heaven's gun

It's not about destiny

It's not about fate

From Heaven's gun

It's all about courage and refusing to break

Out of the ashes

It's all about living up

All about not giving up

We will rise like a bullet that's flying

From Heaven's gun

It's not about destiny

It's not about fate

It's all about courage and refusing to break

It's all about living up

All about not giving up

We will rise like a bullet that's flying

From Heaven's gun
