Ashes of the Dawn
DragonForce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was blinded by my fears
Lost in the dark through the shadows I heard you scream my name
Oh help me, please, out of this nightmare
All my life I've been playing with fire
Set me free that's my only desire
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
Fear deep inside, is it madness that fuel my ecstasy?
Now I'm drowning in my sorrows
Lord answer my prayers, lost in despair, is this the end?
Breaking the silence so real, we'll make it together
All my dreams have been torn into pieces
Hear the screams of my eternal pain
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
Yeah
I have seen a sorrow in your eyes
How I wish I'd make things better
Find the strength to leave the past behind
Just one more time, we'll live again
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
The time has come for me
The time to overcome and do what is right
For the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise
From the fire

The amount of strength, motivation and power these songs give me, woooah! And such a strong urge to sing (I always get that tho, it helps a lot when I feel low)! I thought only Disturbed could do that, obviously not! It's only been 2 days and I think I'm obsessed with you guys!
This is great for listening to before I study my maths! I'm aiming for grade 5 and only getting 3s. :( Though this is great according to the teacher, because we're so early into the year, I feel absolutely stupid getting so low. And my GCSEs are only in a few months. I'm hoping to get a 4 in my prelims to know I'm on track. I'm doing revision non-stop during these holidays. I made it a thing for me to listen to your music before and after studying and not at any other point during the holidays. Sometimes I study just to hear this. I'm not going to break my rule, I'm a good girl. 😇
Everyone else has their mum forcing them to study, I have my music and my own rules forcing me to.
Maybe, when I go back to school, I should listen to this on my MP3 player while walking. Maybe the power will scare away the anxiety for a bit. 😋
Edit: I actually know how to do completing the square, quadratic equations, mean from a table, and medium from a table. Just from these two days (although the last two were bringing back what I learnt so they're not brand new, I completely forgot them before I studied them a ton). Fuck revision music, just listen to rock.
Edit 2: Oh, and also relearned bisecting an angle and angles of polygons.

And from the Ashes of the dawn I arise
Fear deep inside, is it madness that fuel my ecstasy
Now I'm drowning in my sorrows
Lord answer my prayers, locked in despair
Is this the end?
Breaking the silence so real, we'll make it together
All my dreams have been torn into pieces

There has been a lot of pretty good stuff from DF since Mark joined, but this is on a whole 'nother level. Best song out of these guys in a LONG time imo, and I LOVED their last album.
@ThunderDragonRandy
So, I bet we'll see a cover of this on your channel shortly? ;)
