[Verse 1]
Warrior wings in the morning light,
Eight-one-two-zero Hotel in flight.
Concord fading in the rearview sky,
Rio Vista footsteps, nowhere high.
Nut Tree humming under wheels,
Low approaches, iron feels real.
Climbin’ out toward Vaca’s bones—
Then the silence… all alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
No warning in the fall,
Just gravity’s cold call.
Altitude was slipping fast—
But I wasn’t built to pass.
[Chorus]
I went down in Mix Canyon,
Fire on my skin, mountain in my chest.
I was dead for a moment,
But I rose again, yeah, I rose again.
Lying broken in the shadows,
Life said, “Get up—this ain’t your death.”
I crawled right out of the darkness—
This is the life I stole from death.
[Verse 2]
Left side torn, blood running thin,
Elbow shattered through the skin.
Jawbone cracked and legs twisted wrong,
Right lung drowning but I held on.
Two days waiting on that stone,
Pain like lightning through my bones.
Heartbeat vanished in the cold—
But something fierce refused to fold.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A whisper in the void,
Said, “Stand up—don’t you bend.”
So I took the breath it gave me—
And I rose again.
[Chorus]
I went down in Mix Canyon,
Fire on my skin, mountain in my chest.
I was dead for a moment,
But I rose again, yeah, I rose again.
Lying broken in the shadows,
Life said, “Get up—this ain’t your death.”
I crawled right out of the darkness—
This is the life I stole from death.
[Bridge]
Every scar’s a warning flare,
Burning bright in thinner air.
I move with purpose, steel, and flame—
Because I lived through the unlivable day.
Death tried once, I slammed the door,
Said, “Come back if you want a war.”
And ever since that mountain fall—
I’ve stood unbroken… Fierce through it all.
[Final Chorus]
I went down in Mix Canyon,
But I rose with a fire they won’t forget.
I’m the proof that fate can falter—
When a soul says, “Not yet.”
I was dead for a moment,
But I fought my way back with a second breath.
Now I walk this world like thunder—
’Cause this is the life I stole from death.
[Outro]
Mix Canyon tried to end me,
But it only lit the spark.
Now I burn through every midnight…
And rise stronger from the dark.
