The ash in this room has a name and a face
Cold shadows keep track of the steps that I pace
Built a wall out of silence, a house out of grief, a house out of grief
Looking for a fire just to find some relief
Just a ghost in the gray, just a break in the line
Take the heat from the hearth, let it burn out the bone
Turn this soft-hearted man into unyielding stone
Forged in the wreckage, tempered in flame
I'm shouting out loud what the shadows complain
No more dying inside, no more looking back down
I'm the king of the ashes
I'm wearing the crown
Scars are just fire
That's cooling in the air
Every bruise on my spirit
Is a weight I can bear
I'll walk through the valley where the river runs dry, let the river run dry
Now the road is a furnace, just to look at the sky, the sky
Now the road is a furnace, the wind is a song
And I finally remember just where I belong
Take the heat from the hearth, let it burn out the bone
Turn this soft-hearted man into unyielding stone
Forged in the wreckage, tempered in flame
I'm shouting out loud what the shadows complain
No more dying inside, no more looking back down
I'm the king of the ashes
I'm wearing the crown
If the fire's in the marrow
If the light's in the dark
You can't kill a mountain
Smothering this spark
Take the heat from the hearth, let it burn out the bone
Turn this soft-hearted man into unyielding stone
Forged in the wreckage, tempered in flame
I'm shouting out loud what the shadows complain
No more dying inside
No more dying inside
I'm wearing the crown
Yeah, let the perfect day begin
I'm still standing
Came walking home
