[Intro - Orchestral] (Slow, haunting violin melody builds up) (Heavy distorted guitars and drums crash in) [Verse 1: Male Lead] The shadows tried to pull me down They built a cage to keep me bound I felt the poison in my veins But I am done with all these chains [Pre-Chorus: Male Lead with Female Harmonies] My heart is beating, the rhythm is loud I’m stepping out from the edge of the cloud No more pretending, no more disguise Look at the fire that burns in my eyes! [Chorus: Both Vocals (Anthemic and Heavy)] I am risen and ready, I'm taking the fight! Tearing the darkness right out of the night! With every breath, I am breaking the mold This is my story, let it be told! I'm standing my ground, I've got nothing to hide I am unbroken, fierce, and alive! [Verse 2: Male Lead] The whispers told me I would fail They tried to leave me off the trail But every scar is just a spark To light the way right through the dark [Pre-Chorus: Male Lead with Female Harmonies] My lungs are breathing, the spirit is loud I’m stepping out from the edge of the cloud No more retreating, I've made up my mind Leaving the ghosts of the past far behind! [Chorus: Both Vocals (Anthemic and Heavy)] I am risen and ready, I'm taking the fight! Tearing the darkness right out of the night! With every breath, I am breaking the mold This is my story, let it be told! I'm standing my ground, I've got nothing to hide I am unbroken, fierce, and alive! [Bridge: Female Lead Vocal (Soaring, slightly softer instrumentation)] (Strings swell, guitars pull back) When the world falls apart, I will stand on the edge... I will never look back, I am keeping the pledge. (Guitars build back up, heavy drum fill) [Guitar Solo] (Fast, melodic alternative metal guitar solo over heavy strings) [Final Chorus: Both Vocals (Maximum Energy)] I am risen and ready, I'm taking the fight! Tearing the darkness right out of the night! With every breath, I am breaking the mold This is my story, let it be told! I'm standing my ground, I've got nothing to hide I am unbroken, fierce, and alive! [Outro] Fierce and alive! (Heavy guitar chug, sweeping strings) Yeah, I am alive! [End]
