[Verse 1] I wake with iron in my throat Cold hands on a cracked black road Your name still burns in the dust Like a match in the rain, I trust I bit through the dark last night Left my fear in the engine light Now I’m running on rage and prayer With a storm in my teeth out here [Pre-Chorus] Call me back from the edge Call me back from the ledge I can see it now The sky is tearing down [Chorus] Ashes on my tongue, still I run Ashes on my tongue, till I’m done If I fall, I rise If I break, I bite Ashes on my tongue tonight [Verse 2] My heart’s a blade in a velvet fist Cutting through every lie you kissed I heard the wolves in a silver train Howling my name through the pain I don’t need no golden crown I need the ground to shake right now I need a spark in the lung I need the world to come undone [Pre-Chorus] Call me back from the edge Call me back from the ledge I can see it now The sky is tearing down [Chorus] Ashes on my tongue, still I run Ashes on my tongue, till I’m done If I fall, I rise If I break, I bite Ashes on my tongue tonight [Bridge] Take the scars, take the blame I still know my own true name Under the noise, under the flood There’s a fire made of blood [Chorus] Ashes on my tongue, still I run Ashes on my tongue, till I’m done If I fall, I rise If I break, I bite Ashes on my tongue tonight [Outro] Tonight, tonight I rise through the smoke Tonight, tonight I don’t let go
