Queen of Ashes - Burn It All

Ashes… The ash of a life on the canvas we made…
Everything we built just burned to the ground!

There's ash in my throat and the world's set ablaze,
You burned it alive in your hollow rage!
You tore down the home where our fires would burn,
Now every last memory's crushed into dirt.
But mark what I say on this godforsaken ground —
No spark ever dies — it just waits in the dark.
From the ruin and pain you left in my chest,
I'll forge a new world from the wreckage that’s left.

My soul is a scar — a wasteland tonight,
But the darkest of dawns still breaks into light.
You're trapped in the past under cold, heavy stone —
Just a Queen of Ashes on a shattered throne.
I'll shake off the rust and I'll walk on my own,
Your kingdom of ash — what a pitiful reign.
You burned down our life with no mercy, no shame —
So choke on the ghost of your name!

I'll claw my way out — I'll rise from the dark,
Where we used to chase every beautiful spark.
Your power's a ghost now — I'm breaking the spell,
I'm walking away from your tailor-made hell.
You wanted to grind me to bone-dust and stone,
But fire just tempered my spirit into steel.
The wounds are all healing, the smoke clears away —
Your hatred just slaughtered the last of my fears.
   
My soul is a scar — a wasteland tonight,
But the darkest of dawns still breaks into light.
You're trapped in the past under cold, heavy stone —
Just a Queen of Ashes on a shattered throne.
I'll shake off the rust and I'll walk on my own,
Your kingdom of ash — what a pitiful reign.
You burned down our life with no mercy, no shame —
So choke on the ghost of your name!

Every step that I take is a move toward the light —
My will tears through chains of your endless night!
I leave you behind in the trap that you laid…
No grudges remain, no darkness within —
Just the sound of my breath as the healing begins.
You rot all alone while the memories fade.
(The ash in my throat…)

You're finally alone — so how's that feel in the end?!
I faced all hell and paid for all that was lost!
No grudges remain — I've buried the weight.
This scorched horizon is waiting for me!
Through fire and dust — I can breathe! I'm alive!
The wreckage is gone — now I'm ready to thrive!

The ash in my throat is just words in a song…
My pain is the beat that keeps driving me on.
