Reborn

I was born inside a burning sky A thousand years before you learned to fly They tried to drown me in the coldest rain But every grave I find becomes my stage You think the silence means I'm gone Oh, that's just where I come from I rise, I rise From the ashes of the night I wear every wound like it's a crown I burn, I burn But that's alright 'Cause nothing worth believing stays on the ground My feathers hold the maps of ancient wars Each scar a door that opens into more You tried to cage me in your golden fear But cages only last until I hear Ooh — aah Every end is just another name For the beginning of the flame I don't need you to believe me I'll keep leaving and returning I rise, I rise From the ashes of the night I wear every wound like it's a crown I burn, I burn But that's alright 'Cause nothing worth believing stays on the ground I rise, I rise And the sky has always known I was made from every fire that fell I burn, I burn But I've never burned alone 'Cause even ash has stories left to tell
