Shadows of Eden

Ash on the gold of a garden gone still I carry the

names that the old stones fill

Far from the halls where my fathers would stand

I learned the weight of a blade in my hand

Night kept the road and the dust knew my feet

Loss was the drum and it hardened the beat But under the

ruin a fire remains

A vow in my chest calling out through the rain

If heaven is broken I'll carry the flame

I rise for the crown that was torn from my home

I rise with the scar and the strength I have grown Hear

the banners of memory over the sky

I was born for the fall and the climb

I rise and the kingdom remembers my name Through the grief and

the fire I answer the flame

Steel in the dawn and the dust in my lungs I gathered

the broken and taught them these songs Every defeat put a mark

in the steel Every old wound taught my hands how to heal

Now when I call,

even silence will turn

Mother of mercy, father of stone

Walk with me now

as I carry us home (ohhh) The gates will remember

I rise for the crown that

was torn from my home

I rise with the scar and the strength I have grown Hear

the banners of memory over the sky

I was born for the fall and the climb

I rise and the kingdom remembers my name Through the grief and

the fire I answer the flame

Open the gates let the lost blood return Out of the exile

the throne starts to burn

The garden still lives in the sound of my name (ahhh)
