Rise from the Ashes

I've seen a war
I've watched it rage
I saw the devil torch my city
cnd let it smoulder in the rain

I asked him, why?
Could he explain?
What kind of heart destroys another
Then smiles and walks away?

I thought I'd never love again
But here we are, my friend.

I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes for you

You came at night
Showed me the stars
You said you'd been to hell and hell's no place
For gentle souls like ours

My darkest fear
Turned to light
Now like roses from the rubble
We'll reach toward the sky

I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes for you

When the darkness without warning
Screams of smoke, it comes a'calling
I will wake you, I will save you
With a sweet amen

I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes
I will rise from the ashes for you
