[Hush Phase: Extended Intro] Held in the frost-woven hush of the long dark night, one pale wee note slips free, ah, it quivers and takes flight— the quill of a feather feels for that first fragile gleam, a sigh splits the slumber, tears oul' winter's seam. [Memory Stir] Threads of forgotten song twist through the grey, draw me up from the stone-still decay— in the bare bough a rhythm remembers its name, the throat recalls how to kindle the flame—come on now, flame! [Dawn Call Loop] Ah, the dawn is callin', can ye hear it rise? Rise! Rise! The light is in the skies! The silence is breakin', the wild notes are free! Free! Free! Sing out with me! From the thorn and the ash, the old songs awake! Awake! Awake! For heaven's sake! Let the wild wind carry our voices on high! High! High! Together we fly—altogether now! [Heightened Euphoric Hook: Pass 1] We rise! We sing! The silence shatters wide! Joy bursts alive—our voices rising high! We rise! We sing! Hearts pounding like the tide! Joy bursts alive—alive, alive, alive! [Instrumental Breath] [Heightened Euphoric Hook: Pass 2 with Lift] We rise! We sing! The silence shatters wide! Joy bursts alive—our voices rising high! We rise! We sing! Hearts pounding like the tide! Joy bursts alive—alive, alive, alive! [Resonance Build: Extended] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Now the heavens burst open with a thousand fierce throats, no shadow dares swallow the fire that we float— each plume shakes wild in the flood of pure light, we're young and we're roaring, the whole world feels right—God bless it, feel right! [Verse 2: Expanded] Now the rivers are laughin' with silver-tongued glee, the green hills awaken from their wintery sleep— every heartbeat is dancin' for joy's own sweet sake, from the smallest brown wren in the hedgerow awake, to the eagle on high circlin' free in the breeze, we're liftin' our wings to the endless blue skies— ah sure, feel the fire lightin' up our souls, let the good times run wild, let the spring take control! [Collective Flight: Extended] We rise! We sing! We rise! We sing! We stream on the wind in a roaring river of sound, shatter the cloak that oul' silence had wound— chasing forever that first blazing call that woke us, unbound us—forever we fall... into light! [Hook Reprise 1] We rise! We sing! ... Joy bursts alive—alive, alive! [Hook Reprise 2] We rise! We sing! ... Joy bursts alive—alive, alive! [Outro] Alive ... Alive ... Alive ... Alive ...
