[Style: UK post-punk, dual contrasting vocals, upbeat optimistic high-energy drive, liberal infusion of aggressive hardcore punk vocals, rapid-fire staccato prestissimo, 150 BPM] [Verse 1] [Female, upbeat, blazing fast motorik groove] Life is too short to give up on... Can’t let this be your swan song... You can’t do it, the biggest con... Adapt and you become strong... [Verse 2] [Male, bright, cheerful, driving forward] From deep within, embers smolder... Rise up before the soul gets colder... No time to lay on funeral pyre... Rise up and light that fire... [Pre-Chorus] [Hardcore vocal burst, explosive energy] (Male, aggressive hardcore shout) When the timebomb starts ticking! (Female) Get that feeling, everything is sinking! (Male, hardcore shout) That old adage that life is fleeting! (Female) Seems to death’s door we’re creeping! [Chorus] [Explosive hardcore punk crossover wall of sound] (Dual, screaming hardcore urgency) So what if you’re too tired! Rise up and light that fire! Fleeing from what’s required! Rise up and light that fire! [Verse 3] [Female, rapid-fire staccato prestissimo] Mind’s eye view seeing all the problems... Confined to that cell, no way to solve them... Weight of struggle too much a burden... Heart races from despair so urgent... [Verse 4] [Male, bright upbeat cadence] It’s easy to feel so scared... (Male, hardcore shout) Rise up and light that fire! (Female) Accept that you have erred... (Male, hardcore shout) Rise up and light that fire!

[Bridge] [Pounding hardcore rhythm, aggressive barking delivery] (Male, hardcore bark) Life gives challenges, not lemons! Hand the reins to all your demons! Or accept faults by confession! Pick up the pieces your mission! [Chorus] (Dual, screaming hardcore punk energy) So what if you’re too tired! Rise up and light that fire! Fleeing from what’s required! Rise up and light that fire! [Verse 7] [Female, rapid-fire staccato] Take back your life with each step... Or keep getting stuck in the web... You don’t have to be a trainwreck... Just go and take your life back... [Verse 8] [Male, bright and sunny pop-punk bounce] It’s easy to feel so scared... (Male, hardcore shout) Rise up and light that fire! (Female) Accept that you have erred...
