Ashes Over Eden

Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke with dirt on my tongue
You slept through the sirens
I saw the sky split open
I saw them naming the fire
Above us, banners of grief
Below us, roots in revolt
Your hands were still on the pillow
Mine were already cold

Pre-Chorus
I hear the crowd-made story
You hear a softer drum
One of us breaks like thunder
One of us stays numb
But under the fear and smoke
A hidden name survives
She wore a face of ash
Then turned to burning light

Chorus
Rise from below
Rise from above
Wake up, wake up
Tell me what you love
Rise from below
Rise from above
What looked like doom
Was holding us up

Verse 2
I was the beast with open eyes
You were my quiet shade
I tore through the iron rumor
You counted the ruins laid
She came in black water first
Then gold in the broken glass
One face for the ones who tremble
One face for the ones who ask

Pre-Chorus
You said the old songs lied
I said they only bent
The prophecy had two shadows
Two doors in the same event
Now every wound is a map
Now every fear is small
If I am the blade in motion
You are the hand that calls

Chorus
Rise from below
Rise from above
Wake up, wake up
Tell me what you love
Rise from below
Rise from above
What looked like doom
Was holding us up

Bridge
I saw the false moon crack
You saw the child in flame
I called it end of the world
You called it by her name
In the wreck, in the flood
We met at the turning gate
No more split in the soul
No more choosing fate

Final Chorus
Rise from below
Rise from above
Wake up, wake up
Tell me what you love
Rise from below
Rise from above
The beast and the still
Come home as one blood
