ASCENSION

A rite of passage through fire
I will walk upon the pyre
With a strengthened desire
I ascend ever higher

Take me one step closer now
Bring me to the firing line
Shatter the still and break the silence now
Ascend, commend me 'til I crash
And burn with dishonor
It only makes me stronger
I cannot wait any longer
Build me up so I can holler

Show me to where my heart is burning
I'll detonate all that hides inside me
Take me far, take me up, bring me back to life.
Make me feel again
I will hesitate once I'll accelerate twice
I will never look back while I roll the dice now
Take me far, take me up, bring me back to life
Ascend me

I have been frozen still at the crossroad
Let me step on into the unknown
I want to chase the ends of the rainbow
To blaze the trail for me to follow

How could I surrender here
I will not succumb to fear
Shatter the shackles that have tied me down
Elevate me until I fall face first down to the ground
I will rise a prisoner unbound
To see this new world I have just found
Raise me up and I'll steal the crown

Show me to where my heart is burning
I'll detonate all that hides inside me
Take me far, take me up, bring me back to life.
Make me feel again
I will hesitate once I'll accelerate twice
I will never look back while I roll the dice now
Take me far, take me up, bring me back to life
Ascend me
