[Intro] Long day done Boots by the door Hotel lights humming Can't take much more Laptop wakes Wi-Fi holds Another world opens Green and gold [Verse 1] I log back in where the morning begins Fire still warm and the sunlight thin Fed and rested, repaired and strong Same old base, but it feels like home Stone in the walls and wood in the beams Built piece by piece from a thousand dreams I walk those halls and I shake my head At the world I made with the hours I bled [Pre-Chorus] One more day One more plan Check my blade Check my hand Food is good Rested high Time to step Beneath that sky [Chorus] In the world I built I rise again Past the gate And into the wind Gather stone Gather wood Fight the dark Like I knew I could When the real world takes All it can take I come alive In the world I make [Verse 2] A simple run, just resources today A little more iron, some wood on the way No big trouble, no death, no fall Just one more mark on the fortress wall Then the forest moved And the shadows grew Something old came breaking through Small ones circled, teeth and claws Then came the beast with the boss-level jaws [Pre-Chorus] Heart kicked hard Hands went cold This was no tale I'd planned to be told Back to the stone Back to the trees One wrong move And I'm on my knees [Battle Bridge] Roll left Block right Stamina fading Deep in the fight Arrow flies Blade rings Death comes close On broken wings Too far now Can't run home Stand my ground Steel and bone One more hit One more breath One more step Between me and death [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] In the world I built I rise again Past the fear And through the end Gather scars Gather blood Stand in the storm Where the brave ones stood When the real world takes All it can take I come alive In the world I make [Final Verse] Then silence fell on the battlefield Loot in my pack and my wounds all healed I walked back slow through the evening light Past every place I refused to die The gate swung wide and the fire shone For a moment there, I was finally home Safe in the walls that my hands had planned Proud of the fight And the day I had [Final Chorus] In the world I built I rise again A tired old man With a warrior within Gather stone Gather wood Fight the dark Like I knew I could When the long day ends And the night turns still I find my strength In the world I built [Outro] Boots by the door Sword by the flame Tomorrow waits I'll rise again
