[Verse 1]
Em C
Should I put my weapons down
D Bm
Turn and walk away don't look around
Em C
They want me to say my lesson's learned
D Bm
Didn't think I'd find so much strength in the hurt
Am
So I pushed away that feeling
Em
There's no truth in what they're saying
B
Never giving only taking
Bm
From this I'm escaping
[Chorus]
Em D C
Ascension
G D Em
Just sky holding me
C
Oh to rise like an angel
Em
Just to kiss every star
Bm
See the clouds silver lining
C
Flying high and far
Am Bm C
Oh ascension
D Em
That's what I want

Take me to that hallowed ground
D Bm

Em C
Do your best to clip my wings

So I'll lock away that madness

Keep emotion in a tight fist

Gonna hold my head up high until I reach the summit
