[Intro] [Kick drums enter to start melody without guitars] [Verse 1] [Guitar and bass enter] [Emotional delivery with pauses between lines] Fractured lands of bitter deals… Scorched homes with broken shields… Blinded by horror, senses dulled, With no morning fire to warm the cold… Laying awake through the night… I need a hero to make this right [Kick drums fade] [Chorus] [Electric guitar leads while bass follows] Through darkened halls and horrors beyond To see what comes before its gone Rise up to see tomorrow’s dawn To conquer foes from beyond I need - I need to rise up and be the hero I need to be… [Verse 2] [Kick drums re-enter with acoustics trailing] Bloody and bruised, emotions blistered, Lonely nights with hushed whispers, Turn the corner, turn the page, Find the steel behind my rage… I can't do this alone with just my might, I'll be a Hero, just not tonight [Chorus] [Kick drums sparse] Through darkened halls and horrors beyond To see what comes before its gone Rise up to see tomorrow’s dawn To conquer foes from beyond I need - I need to rise up and be the hero I NEED TO BE [Verse 3] [Acoustics lead while electric follows] Wounds aplenty, in need of aid, In need of blades full of fight, Collapsing in the burning twilight, Against the loss, nothing borrowed Hope for tomorrow will move past the sorrow, [Electric guitar fades] [Bridge] [Acoustics build over rage as kick drums and bass slowly re-enter] [Slow build] I’ll find the rage and fight back… …I’ll find a way to make this right… I’ll find a way to rise up… [Chorus] [Full band, explosive with dramatic swells] Through darkened halls and horrors beyond To see what comes before its gone Rise up to see tomorrow’s dawn To conquer foes from beyond I need - I need to rise up and be the hero I NEED TO BE [Short Outro] (RISE UP)
