Ashes to Anthems

They lit the match and watched our world go down Left us standin' in the smoke on scorched-out ground But you can't kill a fire that's already burned We came back stronger from the ashes we've earned From ashes to anthems, we rise Singin' with the smoke still in our eyes Every ending is a chance to start again From ashes to anthems, amen Pick up the pieces, turn 'em into steel Every wound we carried taught us how to heal The chorus is a fist raised to the sky We're the ones who wouldn't lay down and die From ashes to anthems, we rise Singin' with the smoke still in our eyes Every ending is a chance to start again From ashes to anthems, amen Whoa-oh, hear the phoenix call Whoa-oh, we don't fall, we stand tall
