[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio with delay, deep synth bass drone] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can wait, we can wait, we can wait, we can wait In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can listen, we can listen, we can listen, we can listen [vocal layering increases] We can listen, we can listen [kick drum enters, steady pulse] [Verse 2] I saw it, it was there, deep in the mist, in the trees It was waiting there, standing there, deep in the trees In the mist, it was waiting, waiting, waiting And the house is crumbling, but there are footsteps inside And the shadows are gathering, there are voices on the wind [crescendo, drums transition to full rock beat] I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise [Chorus] Gonna rise out of the iron pines [distorted guitar layers, orchestral strings] Gonna rise out of the iron pines Gonna rise out of the iron pines Gonna rise out of the iron pines [Verse 3] [drums drop to kick pulse, clean guitar arpeggio returns] I can feel it drawing near, through the frost, through the fire It is beginning low, calling out through the blackened boughs in the silence It is waking, the ground is breaking open with the thunder under roots And the night is growing louder as the old woods come alive [full band re-enters, high energy] I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise [Chorus] Gonna rise out of the iron pines Gonna rise out of the iron pines Gonna rise out of the iron pines Gonna rise out of the iron pines [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric pads] In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can drift, we can drift, we can drift, we can drift In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can go, we can go, we can go, we can go [Outro] [building intensity, layered vocals] Gonna rise into the silver light Gonna rise above the reach of night Gonna rise into the silver light Gonna rise above the reach of night [final drum hit, reverb tail]
