[Verse 1]
Ash on the windows, rain in the hall
You came through the rafters, too vast for the walls
I was only a keeper of keys and a name
Till your claw found my chest and your fire took aim
[Pre-Chorus]
You tore out the heartbeat that kept me in place
And left me awake with your mark in its place
[Chorus]
Now I am the Arisen, bound to your flame
I feel every distance, I answer your name
You stole what was mortal, then sealed what remains
A pulse under stone, a wild thing in chains
[Verse 2]
The village lies quiet beneath a red dawn
My hands are still shaking; the old life is gone
A scar like a sigil burns under my skin
Your voice rides the thunder and calls me within
[Pre-Chorus]
I carry your hunger, you carry my pain
Two lives on one tether that neither can break
[Chorus]
Now I am the Arisen, bound to your flame
I feel every distance, I answer your name
You stole what was mortal, then sealed what remains
A pulse under stone, a wild thing in chains
[Bridge]
If you are my ruin, I’ll walk through the ash
If I am your mirror, then look when I ask
What made you choose me? What waits at the end?
The heart you took from me still beats again
[Final Chorus]
Now I am the Arisen, no longer the same
I feel every distance, I answer your name
You made me your equal, your wound and your chain
A pulse under stone, returning again
[Outro]
Your shadow crosses the mountain alone
My borrowed heart leads me home
