[Intro]
White walls, cold air, the clock gnaws at our breaths
I hold your small fists and vow to shield you from the rain
[Verse 1]
The wallets whisper danger, numbers dance like knives
A sister's smile hides storms I never saw arrive
But I stand between the flame and you, my child in the glow
If it crumbles all around, I’ll guard you as we go
[Chorus]
We rise from the wreckage, we rise from the ash
I’m the shield you can cling to, through thunder and the crash
If the world turns gray, I’ll carry you through the night
With every heartbeat, I’ll fight for your light
[Verse 2]
Her treachery tasted of poison on a silver tongue
Spun lies like webs, but truth will cut where it’s sprung
I trace the broken promises back to the root of the lies
And I won’t let your tomorrow be mined by her demise
[Chorus]
We rise from the wreckage, we rise from the ash
I’m the shield you can cling to, through thunder and the crash
If the world turns gray, I’ll carry you through the night
With every heartbeat, I’ll fight for your light
[Bridge]
When the echoes bite and the numbers cloud the sky
I’ll draw a line in the dust and tell you we’ll be alright
No venom, no venom can drown what we hold true
I am your shelter, I am only for you
[Chorus]
We rise from the wreckage, we rise from the ash
I’m the shield you can cling to, through thunder and the crash
If the world turns gray, I’ll carry you through the night
With every heartbeat, I’ll fight for your light
[Outro]
Stand close, my child, as the storm learns our name
Together we’ll weather this, and rewrite the flame
