Through The Fire I Rise

[Intro]
(Heavy down-tuned riff builds from silence, slow and deliberate)

[Verse]
I have been on my knees in the dark for so long.
Counting the cracks in the ceiling till dawn
The weight on my chest feels like iron and stone.
And every voice in my head says I'll drown here alone.
I almost believed them; I almost let go.
But something kept burning in places I know.

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't carry it, not on my own.
So I opened the door, and I let someone in.

[Chorus 1]
Through the fire I rise, through the ash I breathe.
God holds me steady when I cannot stand on my feet.
I don't have to fight through the night alone.
Through the fire I rise, through the fire I rise.

[Guitar Solo]
(Soaring melodic lead over half-time groove, ascending and resolving)

[Breakdown]
This is not weakness.
This is the fight.
I am still standing.
Still in the light

[Chorus 2]
Through the fire I rise, through the ash I breathe.
God holds me steady when I cannot stand on my feet.
I don't have to fight through the night alone.
Through the fire I rise, through the fire I rise.

[Outro]
The night couldn't keep me; the iron couldn't hold
Through the fire I rise, and I'm no longer alone.

[Verse 2]
A friend sat beside me and didn't say much.
Just stayed in the silence and offered his hand.
I'd been ashamed of the storm living under my skin.
But shame doesn't heal what the light can begin.
So I spoke every word that I'd buried in fear.
And for the first time in months I could finally hear

[End]
