[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Blood on the dawn
Heaven is watching
Hell marches on (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Teeth in the prayer
Claws in the choir
Angels with scars
Still walking through fire
They etched my name
On a blade of glass
Said “stand your ground
This storm will pass”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow
Spells surrender
But I was built
For something better
[Chorus]
This is the exodus
Out of the jaws of the abyss
When the dark says “you are mine”
I burn that lie like gasoline
This is the exodus
Light in my bones, I won’t resist
You can drag me through the pit
But the dawn won’t quit on me
[Verse 2]
Roar in my chest
Voices that hiss
“Bow to the void
You’ll never be missed”
I spit out the dirt
From under their throne
“Your kingdom is dust
I’m taking it home”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every echo
Begging “give in”
But I’ve got suns
Under my skin (ugh)
[Chorus]
This is the exodus
Out of the jaws of the abyss
When the dark says “you are mine”
I burn that lie like gasoline
This is the exodus
Light in my bones, I won’t resist
You can drag me through the pit
But the dawn won’t quit on me (won’t quit)
[Bridge]
[Growled]
Kneel in the ashes
Feel your empire fade
Light doesn’t bargain
It cuts through the plague
[Clean, soaring]
You can black out every sky
Still a spark survives
You can bury me alive
But the grave divides
[Breakdown]
(Go)
Fall back, night tide, you’ve had your run
All your crowns melt in the rising sun
I was chained, now I’m breaking through
Every star screams out, “I’m brighter than you” (hey)
[Chorus]
This is the exodus
Out of the jaws of the abyss
When the dark says “you are mine”
I burn that lie like gasoline
This is the exodus
Light in my bones, I won’t resist
You can drag me through the pit
But the dawn won’t quit on me
[Outro]
Ash in my lungs
Breath turning clean
War in my past
Light in my teeth (yeah)
This is the exodus
I walk out free
