I remember when you held my hand
Lifted me higher than I'd ever been
Higher than I'd ever been
You painted colors I'd never seen
Then the fire came
Then the fire came
You built me temples, then you burned them down
You built me temples, burned them to the ground
Raised me up just to tear me down
You built me temples, then you burned them down
Burned them down, burned them down
Ashes falling
Ashes falling
I wore the crown you placed on my head
Believed every word, every promise said
Every promise that you said
Now I'm standing where the empires bled
But I'm still here
Yeah, I'm still here
You built me temples, then you burned them down
You built me temples, burned them to the ground
Raised me up just to tear me down
You built me temples, then you burned them down
Burned them down, burned them down
Ashes falling
I'm still standing
From the ruins, I can see
What you made of me
What you took from me
From the ruins, I am free
I am finally free
You built me temples, then you burned them down
You built me temples, burned them to the ground
Raised me up just to tear me down
You built me temples, then you burned them down
Burned them down, burned them down
I built me temples
I built me temples
From the ashes, I rise
I rise
I rise
I rise
