Lyrics

We built a kingdom out of fragile light,
Each word a stone, each tear a rite.
The walls we raised could never save
The hearts we buried, the souls we gave.

You looked at me through the smoke and flame,
Said, “Love’s not mercy, it’s the same old pain.”
But still, your hand found mine in the haze,
And I knew... we were worth the blaze.

Every scar has learned to sing,
Every loss has grown its wings.
We could break, or we could bloom,
But not both... there’s no room.

So rise or ruin, baby, choose your side,
The world is burning, but our hearts collide.
If this is ending, let it end divine,
We’ll rise or ruin, but you’ll still be mine.

Ashes fall like prayers tonight,
Forgiveness wearing battle stripes.
Every truth we feared to face,
Is painted now across our grace.

The echoes fade, but love remains,
Not clean, not pure... but real through pain.
We tore each other down to bone,
And built an altar of our own.

Every scar has learned to sing,
Every ghost has lost its sting.
We were war, and we were wound,
Now we’re gods of what we’ve doomed.

So rise or ruin, baby, take my hand,
The flood is coming, but we still can stand.
If this is over, let it end divine,
We’ll rise or ruin... but your soul is mine.

Let the fire wash away the lies,
Let the thunder baptize our cries.
If we burn, then we burn as one,
Two hearts reborn when the war is done.

Rise or ruin, we defy the fall,
We’ve lost it all... and found it all.
If this is heaven, it was born from hell,
We rose, we fell, we loved too well.

And when the smoke clears from above,
They’ll find our names... carved in love.
Rise or ruin…
we rose. 🌙
