Ash Throne

Verse 1

I rose up from the embers, crown of smoke and flame

Every fall I survived carved the letters of my name

They thought the fire would kill me, thought the ash was the end

But the ground that burned beneath me is the throne I now ascend

I walk through the ruins like I built them myself

Turn the wreckage into power, turn the silence into wealth

Chorus

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

Without the burning, without the crash

I had to break to learn to fly

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

Verse 2

They watched me fall apart and thought that I was finished

Didn't know the fire feeds me, didn't know it's limitless

Every scar's a feather now, every wound's a wing

I don't fear the ashes, girl, I own everything

Sovereign in the smoke, I don't flinch, I don't bend

The fire made me royal, and the fall made me ascend

Chorus

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

Without the burning, without the crash

I had to break to learn to fly

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

Bridge

Burn it down, burn it slow

Watch me rise from the afterglow

Nothing left but what I choose

Ash is just the proof I rose

Final Chorus

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

Without the burning, without the crash

I had to break to learn to fly

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash

What Is The Phoenix, Without The Ash
