[Intro — deep frame drums, thunder, low drone] Low drums… low drums… The night is deep… the fire is low… The old sky watches… The old sky calls… [Chant] Oh-oh-oh… thunder! Oh-oh-oh… rise! Oh-oh-oh… thunder! Wake the fire in our eyes! [Verse 1] Black smoke curled around my bones, The spirit-roads were paved with stones. I lay beneath the bleeding sky, And let the old self die. The drums woke deep beneath the clay, A heart of stone began to play. The embers breathed, the ashes stirred, And every silence, I outroared. [Pre-Chorus] No fear! No chains! No sleeping through the rain! The sky splits wide— And I come alive! [Chorus] I woke with a thunder crack! Lightning splitting through the black! Iron heart and burning blood, Rising like a rising flood! Every storm that shook my sleep Forged a fire in me, burning deep! Let the morning crash and ring— I woke with thunder in my skin! [Tribal Break — stomps, hand drums, gang chant] Boom-boom—boom-boom—BOOM! Thunder! Thunder! Boom-boom—boom-boom—BOOM! Rise! Rise! Rise! [Verse 2] The night had held me like a blade, But dawn arrived in war-paint made. A flash of gold across the land, The storm itself took me by hand. I rose from sleep with fists held high, A war cry underneath the sky. No shadow left to pull me down— I wear the lightning like a crown. [Pre-Chorus] No fear! No chains! No sleeping through the rain! The sky splits wide— And I come alive! [Chorus] I woke with a thunder crack! Lightning splitting through the black! Iron heart and burning blood, Rising like a rising flood! Every storm that shook my sleep Forged a fire in me, burning deep! Let the morning crash and ring— I woke with thunder in my skin! [Bridge — slow, heavy, shamanic chant] (Frame drums slow… low drone… distant thunder…) Smoke on the wind… The old ones are listening… Bone to the earth… The fire is whispering… (Call and response — lead vocal, then gang chant) Who wakes the storm? The thunder knows! Who bears the flame? The old blood glows! Who breaks the night? The risen ones! Who calls the dawn? We rise as one! Oh-hey… oh-hey… Spirit, carry me… Oh-hey… oh-hey… Set the sleeper free… (Drums build — every line harder) Earth… below… Sky… above… Fire… within… Thunder… my blood! (Massive hit — guitars crash back in) WE RISE! WE RISE! WE RISE! [Guitar Solo / Drum Assault] Thunder! Thunder! Fire in my veins! Thunder! Thunder! Breaking all my chains! [Final Chorus] I woke with a thunder crack! Nothing broken, nothing black! Every fear has lost its throne, I stand in fire, not alone! Oh, the night was fierce and wild, But morning made me like a child— Born again beneath the ring: I woke with thunder in my wings! [Outro — frame drums, thunder, fading drone] Sleep deep… sleep slow… Let the ancient rivers flow… And when the dawn comes crashing through, May it wake the thunder inside of you… Thunder… thunder… We’re ready to rise! Thunder… thunder… We’re ready to rise!........ May it wake the thunder inside..........
