just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and I will rise,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
for all that i'm losing, much more will i gain,
the hard part is choosing,
to change what needs changed,
and my step will be much lighter,
with these demons off my chest,
I'm born a better spirit,
and lay the old to rest
so don't try to save me now,
let the walls of my world all burn down,
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and i will rise
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
