Lyrics: Selene Moray
Music: Selene Moray
Arranger: Selene Moray
We lift on the hush before the sun
Breath held like drums beneath the bone
Once I walked the map of broken hours
Counted small defeats like stones at my feet
There was a gravity that knew my name
A slow temptation to stay beneath the tide
But in the hush between two heartbeats
A rumor of wings began to write itself
We traded fear for the sound of wind
Learned to speak in the language of climb
Every pulse a signal, every scar a chord
And the skyline answered back
Ascend — we break the black and rise
Ascend — turn every ruin into light
Hands like beacons, lungs as engines, we ignite
Ascend — until the horizon folds into the sky
Copper dawn and iron-sky mornings taught us
How to shape the thunder into a path
Crowds that once trembled now become a tide
Voices braided into a single flame
You thought the night would keep our names
We carved them on the wind and called them home
Lift with me — feel the old weight shift
The gravity loosens where we stand
This is the work of many small fires
A thousand hands welding the dawn
Ascend — lift the echoes from the ground
Ascend — let every fallen thing rebound
Brass and breath and the roar of fields unbound
Ascend — we are the pulse that rewrites the round
Mountains will bow when storms learn our tune
Oceans will part when our chorus grows loud
There is a cathedral in our rising
Arches of sound, a brim of gold
Give me your broken pieces, your late excuses
I will turn them into pillars that hold
Ascend — we build a sky from what we've lost
Ascend — and pay the darkness back in stars
We are the thunder with a human heart
Ascend — until the whole world knows our name
We lift on the hush before the sun
And all the fallen light becomes our dawn
