[Verse 1] The ground is littered with the ghosts of the brave The ones who reached for gold but found a shallow grave I’m walking through the wreckage, I’m breathing in the dust Of every broken promise and every shattered trust They tell me that the heavens are the only way to rise But I see the power hidden in their closed-off eyes I’m gathering the echoes, the weight of every crash Building up a fire from the cold and greyish ash. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the sun to find my way I’m fueled by the shadows of yesterday Every descent is a spark in the vein I’m turning the loss into lethal gain! [Chorus] I’m taking flight on the wings of the failed Harnessing the storm where the others have paled It’s an upward fall, a gravity reverse I’m breaking the blessing and steering the curse! We fight the light with the dark we’ve known Seizing a throne that we built alone Yeah, we’re rising… In the upward fall! [Verse 2] The blinding white is screaming, trying to pull me back But there’s a quiet thunder in the middle of the black I’m using every stumble, I’m using every scar To propel me further than the highest star They think the fall is over, they think the fire's out But they don’t hear the anthem in the middle of the doubt I’ve got the strength of thousands who couldn’t hold the line I’m taking all their darkness and I’m making it mine! [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the sun to find my way I’m fueled by the shadows of yesterday Every descent is a spark in the vein I’m turning the loss into lethal gain! [Chorus] I’m taking flight on the wings of the failed Harnessing the storm where the others have paled It’s an upward fall, a gravity reverse I’m breaking the blessing and steering the curse! We fight the light with the dark we’ve known Seizing a throne that we built alone Yeah, we’re rising… In the upward fall! [Bridge] (Music drops to a low, pulsing bass. Vocals are a whispered, rhythmic snarl) Gravity is just a lie they told to keep us down. (Louder) Gravity is just a lie they told to keep us down! (Screamed) THE HIGHER WE REACH, THE HARDER WE CLIMB WE’RE STEALING THE SKY ONE CRASH AT A TIME! ONE CRASH AT A TIME! [Guitar Solo / Electronic Break] (Aggressive, screeching synth-leads layered over heavy power chords) [Chorus] I’m taking flight on the wings of the failed Harnessing the storm where the others have paled It’s an upward fall, a gravity reverse I’m breaking the blessing and steering the curse! We fight the light with the dark we’ve known Seizing a throne that we built alone Yeah, we’re rising… In the upward fall! [Outro] Using the weight… To find the height… We own the dark… We end the light… The upward fall. (Feedback fades out into a cold, digital hum)
