Rise Again – Rock / Metal Gym Anthem

[Intro – low guitar, distant voice] (heartbeat + distorted guitar swell) Fell down… …get up. [Verse 1 – heavy, driving riff] Face down in the dirt, yeah I’ve been here before Blood, sweat, pressure—yeah I’m ready for war Every scar that I carry, every crack in my skin Is a mark of the fight that I refuse to give in They tried to break me, said I’d never survive But I built my strength just to stay alive Yeah I bent, I broke—but I never stayed Now I rise from the ashes that the pain has made [Pre-Chorus – tension build] When I fall—I don’t stay down When I bleed—I don’t back out Every doubt fuels me now Hear the roar—hear it LOUD [Chorus – big, anthemic, shout-along] I WILL RISE AGAIN Through the fire, through the pain Every scar, every strain I WILL RISE AGAIN I WON’T FADE AWAY Even when my body breaks Every hit that I take MAKES ME RISE AGAIN [Breakdown – gym chant / half-time] (heavy chugs) FALL DOWN — GET UP FALL DOWN — GET UP NO FEAR — NO STOP NO FEAR — NO STOP WE RISE — WE RISE WE RISE AGAIN [Verse 2 – faster, aggressive] I’ve been pushed to the edge, yeah I stared at the drop But I looked in the void and I told it “not” Every rep, every breath, every drop of pain Is a step toward the power running through my veins I don’t quit, I reload, I attack, I adapt Turn the pressure to fuel, put the world on my back Now I stand in the fire and I don’t retreat If I fall, I get up—yeah I bring the heat [Pre-Chorus 2 – bigger] Hear the pulse—feel the sound This is war—this is now From the dirt to the crown I won’t stay on the ground [Chorus – bigger, gang vocals] I WILL RISE AGAIN Through the fire, through the pain Every scar, every strain I WILL RISE AGAIN I WON’T FADE AWAY Even when my body breaks Every hit that I take MAKES ME RISE AGAIN [Bridge – stripped, then explode] (quiet, clean guitar) When my legs give out… When my lungs collapse… There’s a voice inside screaming— GET UP. [FINAL BREAKDOWN – heaviest section] GET — UP GET — UP FALL — DOWN RISE — NOW GET — UP GET — UP WE DON’T BREAK WE RISE AGAIN [Final Chorus – full power] I WILL RISE AGAIN Through the fire, through the pain Every scar, every strain I WILL RISE AGAIN [Outro – fading distortion] (breathing, fading) Fell down… …got up stronger…
