Ashes of Fire

[Verse 1 – Mumford & Sons style]
Woke up to the silence of a town asleep
Footsteps on the pavement, secrets buried deep
Every corner holds a shadow of our past
Every heartbeat tells me nothing ever lasts

[Pre-Chorus – Imagine Dragons style creeping in]
But I feel the thunder rolling in my chest
Can’t escape the storm, can’t let it rest

[Chorus – Full Band, hybrid]
We’ll rise, we’ll fall, through the ashes to fire
Sing loud, stand tall, let the world conspire
Hands in the sky, we’re alive, we’re alive
From the dark, to the light, we survive, we survive

[Verse 2 – Mumford & Sons style]
Lanterns on the river, flickering through time
Stories we remember, written in the grime
We stumble through the city, broken but aware
Finding hope in pieces scattered everywhere

[Pre-Chorus – Imagine Dragons style]
Lightning strikes, we can’t go back
Feel the pulse, hear the heart attack

[Chorus – Full Band]
We’ll rise, we’ll fall, through the ashes to fire
Sing loud, stand tall, let the world conspire
Hands in the sky, we’re alive, we’re alive
From the dark, to the light, we survive, we survive

[Bridge – Imagine Dragons soaring, echoing Mumford folk]
Oh-oh-oh, the night won’t hold us down
Oh-oh-oh, we’re breaking through the ground
Every scar a story, every scream a song
We are warriors, we’ve been waiting all along

[Chorus – Full Band, anthem style]
We’ll rise, we’ll fall, through the ashes to fire
Sing loud, stand tall, let the world conspire
Hands in the sky, we’re alive, we’re alive
From the dark, to the light, we survive, we survive

[Outro – Folk fade, quiet guitars]
Through the ashes, through the fire
Through the night, we climb higher
Every shadow leaves a mark
But we carry the light in the dark

fusion of folk-rock and arena-pop/alternative rock.
