Ash & Roses

---

(Spoken softly over keys)

They call me the Hellbloom…

But tonight, I rise from the ashes…

---

I walked through fire, felt the heat on my skin

Scars on my armor tell the tales of my sin

In the darkest hour, found the strength to begin

Now I bloom like roses, even ash can’t win

(Background “Oh‑oh, oh‑oh” harmony)

---

I’ve been bruised, I’ve been tried

Watched my dreams almost die

But the flames, they made me rise

Now I’m soaring through the sky

---

Ash & roses, I’m built to survive

Broken then golden, I’m feelin’ alive

Ash & roses, I learned how to thrive

From the pain, from the war, I’m born to rise

*(Harmony: “Born to rise… born to rise…”) *

---

I heard the whispers doubting my name

Fuel for my fire, I embraced the flame

Every heartbreak molded my claim

Turned my fury into untamed fame

(Background “Mmm‑hmm, yeah” ad‑libs)

---

(Guitar picks up, drums steady)

When the night tries to break me down

I wear these battles like a crown

Ashes to blooms, I own this ground

In war’s embrace, my soul is found

(Spoken, behind the beat)

Feel the heat… feel the power… watch me tower…

---

Ash & roses, I’m built to survive

Broken then golden, I’m feelin’ alive

Ash & roses, I learned how to thrive

From the pain, from the war, I’m born to rise

*(Harmony layering, ad‑libs: “Rise up… oh‑oh… ashes to roses…”) *

---

Spoken:

Ash and roses—my heart’s reward.

From the flames, I am restored.
