Backstory:
Active Flame began as an idea in the basement of a small house in Austin, Texas in 2006. Five friends, all with a shared love for music, decided to create a band after realizing the chemistry they had while jamming together. Even though they all had different influences, they found a common ground in their shared sense of rebellion and thirst for innovation. This is how Active Flame was born.
Through the years, Active Flame faced many challenges but they only made the bond between the members stronger. They started playing at local bars, then moved on to regional festivals, and eventually national tours. The band’s captivating performances, combined with their progressive, ever-evolving sound, quickly caught the attention of fans and critics alike. Active Flame is not just a band, it’s a journey.

“Rising From the Ashes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: C-G-Am-F)
(C)Sitting in the darkness, (G)waiting for a spark,
(Am)Fire within me, (F)light within the dark,
(C)Life has tried to douse me, (G)But I won’t give in,
(Am)Active Flame, I’ll rise again,(F)I’ll rise again.
(Chorus: F-G-C-Am)
(F)Rising from the ashes, (G)standing in the night,
(C)Active Flame, I’m burning bright,(Am)I’m burning bright,
(F)Through the storm and shadows, (G)I will find the way,
(C)Active Flame, I’ll light the day,(Am)I’ll light the day.
(Verse 2: C-G-Am-F)
(C)Winds of change are blowing, (G)but I won’t be swayed,
(Am)I’ll keep on dancing, (F)in the fire that I’ve made,
(C)Every setback, (G)a stepping stone,
(Am)In every fall, (F)my strength has grown.
(Chorus: F-G-C-Am)
(F)Rising from the ashes, (G)standing in the night,
(C)Active Flame, I’m burning bright,(Am)I’m burning bright,
(F)Through the storm and shadows, (G)I will find the way,
(C)Active Flame, I’ll light the day,(Am) I’ll light the day.
(F)Fire in my heart, (G)will never fade,
(C)Active Flame, (Am)I’m unafraid.
