AI.A.M - Lions of Dawn

*Verse 1* Wake the city up, break the chains Pour the light through the darkest rains Spread the prayer through the night Where broken wings still learning flight Ashes bloom in the iron dawn Ghosts in the alley singing on Every scar is a sacred mark Every ember a spark in the dark *Verse 2* From the ruins rise the golden drums Hear the thunder where the silence comes Old gods walking in the rain Carrying fire through the vein Let the wounded bells ring loud Let the lost ones rise through the crowd When the storm writes signs along the road Even shattered hearts still carry the load *Chorus* Rise, rise, through the smoke and the wire Rise, rise, from the ash to the fire Hearts on the edge, but they don’t break down Lions of dawn in a steel-born town Rise, rise, let the heavens shake Rise, rise, for the broken awake When the night falls hard and the shadows call Still the soul keeps its light through it all *Verse 3* Mountains lean when the brave ones call Stars descend through the broken wall Hands like lanterns, eyes like flame Their hearts remain, forever same No crown here, only the road No easy grace, only the load Still the dusk gets split in two When the dream refuses to lose *Pre-Chorus* Feel the pulse in the midnight rain Feel the gold in the burn, in the pain Every crack lets the light break through Every wound lets the sky come through *Chorus* Rise, rise, through the smoke and the wire Rise, rise, from the ash to the fire Hearts on the edge, but they don’t break down Lions of dawn in a steel-born town Rise, rise, let the heavens shake Rise, rise, for the broken awake When the night falls hard and the shadows call Still the soul keeps its light through it all *Bridge* Ancient rivers run beneath the skin Telling the storm where the dawn begins Even stone can learn to sing Even pain can grow its wings *Final Chorus* Rise, rise, through the smoke and the wire Rise, rise, from the ash to the fire Hearts on the edge, but they don’t break down Lions of dawn in a steel-born town Rise, rise, let the heavens shake Rise, rise, for the broken awake When the night falls hard and the shadows call Still the soul keeps its light through it all
