[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah
[Verse 1]
I've been here before
If you want, go ahead, start a war
It's not that I'm brave
It's that I would rather die
Than for things to stay this way
[Pre-Chorus]
Losing means nothing
If there's nothing to lose
[Chorus]
What do you want from me tonight?
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I'm not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes (The ashes, the ashes)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
So light your matches (The ashеs)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah)
And I will rise from the ashеs
[Drop]
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah)
[Verse 2]
The flames fill my lungs
Burning up everything I've become
It's not that I'm brave, no
It's that I've been here before
And I know I'll be okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Losing means nothin'
If there's nothing to lose
[Chorus]
What do you want from me tonight?
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I'm not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes (The ashes, the ashes)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
So light your matches (The ashes)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah)
And I will rise from the ashes
[Drop]
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
From the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
[Outro]
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah)
So light your matches
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah)
And I will rise from the ashes

ILLENIUM:
This is one of those songs that I feel so lucky and grateful to be a part of. My main goal with music is to give people peace and some escape – and that’s exactly what “From The Ashes” does for me.

Skylar Grey:
ILLENIUM and I have been wanting to collab for years, excited we finally made it happen. The throwback Enya vibes combined with that fake out drop is the eargasm of the decade for me. And the lyrics completely parallel where I’m at in life right now.
