Rain on the asphalt,
the city is cold
Staring at the reflection of a story untold
Bottle in the hand,
trying to quiet the scream
Chasing a ghost in a feverish dream But the block keeps watching,
the shadows they creep Another long night when I'm too tired to
sleep Felt the pull of the dust,
felt the weight of the fall But I'm standing right here with
my back to the wall
Now the clouds are parting,
I can see the dawn (yeah)
Every single scar is where the light was born (we made it
out)
Raise the banners high,
let the music play I'm throwing out the ashes of yesterday
Used to seek shelter in a powder-white haze Lost in the maze
of those ruinous days Every step was a battle with the devil
inside Nowhere left for a broken spirit to hide But I broke
through the cage, took a breath of the air
Traded my chains for a silent prayer Now the rhythm is steady,
the vision is clear No more running away from the ghosts of
the fear
Now the clouds are parting,
I can see the dawn (yeah)
Every single scar is where the light was born (we made it
out)
Raise the banners high,
let the music play I'm throwing out the ashes of yesterday
Out of the dark (hah) Into the light
Yeah, we won the fight
