Out of the Ashes

All the ghostly streets are bare The boarded windows scream despair And I walk on There used to be a city here When hope was full and dreams were clear But now, they're gone Through rusted memories Our sleepless eyes see Night surrender into the dawn Out of the ashes comes a new fire Turning the darkness into a burning sun Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward I will rise like a bullet that's flyin' from Heaven's gun Heaven's gun Iron hands of trusted kings Have stolen almost everything Call it even Deep in my own conquered heart Tomorrow is a work of art I still, believe it They didn't kill me Someday it will be My turn at the top of the world Out of the ashes comes a new fire Turning the darkness into a burning sun Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward I will rise like a bullet that's flyin' from Heaven's gun It's not about destiny It's not about fate It's all about courage And refusing to break (refusing to break) It's all about livin' up All about not givin' up Would you walk through hell to find yourself You can hold your head up while this world goes down in flames Out of the ashes comes a new fire Turning the darkness into a burning sun Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward We will rise like a bullet that's flyin' from Heavens gun It's not about destiny It's not about fate (from Heaven's gun) It's all about courage and refusing to break (out of the ashes) It's all about livin' up All about not givin' up We will rise like a bullet that's flying from Heaven's gun It's not about destiny It's not about fate It's all about courage And refusing to break (refusing to break) It's all about livin' up All about not givin' up We will rise like a bullet that's flying from Heaven's gun
