(Verse 1)
The shadows stretch long, the road twists tight,
I’ve carried these ghosts through too many nights.
Their whispers claw at my weary mind,
But I won’t let them hold what’s left behind.

The ashes of yesterday cling to my skin,
But this fire will purge what lies within.
No backward glance, no silent plea,
I’ll burn the bridges to set myself free.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
The flames will rise, the ties will fall,
I’ll watch it all crumble, I’ll let it all crawl.
Smoke in the air, the stars alight,
I’m chasing the dawn through the edge of the night.

​

(Chorus)
Burn the bridges, light the fire,
Let the heat consume the liars.
No more chains to hold me down,
I’ll rise from the ash, wear the crown.
Burn the bridges, leave no trace,
Feel the flames dance, take their place.
This is the end, this is my start,
A blaze to heal my broken heart.

​

(Verse 2)
The echoes of the past scream like a choir,
But they can’t compete with this growing fire.
The weight of their words, the sting of their eyes,
I’ll drown them all in a sea of goodbyes.

The edge of the cliff, the pull of the fall,
I’ll build my own world where I have it all.
The wind will howl, the smoke will rise,
But I’ll walk unafraid through shattered skies.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
The flames will rise, the ties will fall,
I’ll watch it all crumble, I’ll let it all crawl.
Smoke in the air, the stars alight,
I’m chasing the dawn through the edge of the night.

​

(Chorus)
Burn the bridges, light the fire,
Let the heat consume the liars.
No more chains to hold me down,
I’ll rise from the ash, wear the crown.
Burn the bridges, leave no trace,
Feel the flames dance, take their place.
This is the end, this is my start,
A blaze to heal my broken heart.

​

(Bridge)
Oh, the flames speak the truth that I couldn’t say,
They dance like prophets, clearing the way.
Through smoke and ruin, I find my name,
Born from the embers, I’m not the same.

​

(Chorus)
Burn the bridges, light the fire,
Let the heat consume the liars.
No more chains to hold me down,
I’ll rise from the ash, wear the crown.
Burn the bridges, leave no trace,
Feel the flames dance, take their place.
This is the end, this is my start,
A blaze to heal my broken heart.

​

(Outro)
The bridges burn, the past decays,
And I walk forward through the haze.
A trail of fire, a path made clear,
No more shadows, no more fear.
Burn the bridges, set me free,
This is where I’m meant to be.
