08 - What Tomorrow Brings

[Intro] (spoken with worry, no melody yet) Something’s coming… *(oooHH ooHH ooooH)* [Verse 1] (low, weary — recognition settling in) On the horizon A dark storm Gives me pause Gives me cause To take up arms I’ll remember What I used to do I’ll remember I’ve nothing to prove I’ll remember What I stand to lose [Chorus] (full band, grounded) I don’t know what Tomorrow brings - Just what matters to me… Whatever comes tonight - But I’ll fight for you and me.. I’ll take up arms to see What tomorrow brings - No matter the cost - I’ll fight for my right To simply be *(oooHH ooHH ooooH)* [Verse 2] (rawer — resolve hardening) I’ve faced many a foe I’ve done what it takes I know how far to go I know what’s at stake Every child, every home I’ll lay down my pride - Bring the fighter out - I won’t stay down and hide [Building Chorus] I don’t know what Tomorrow brings - Just what matters to me… Whatever comes tonight - But I’ll fight for you and me.. I’ll take up arms to see What tomorrow brings - No matter the cost - I’ll fight for my right To simply be (maintain chord progression through to final verse) *(oooHH ooHH ooooH)* [Verse 3] Darkness is looming Won’t be too long - I’ll swing my axe Till the threat’s gone Against all odds I’ll face the darkness Stand by my home I’ll face it, even if I'm on my own [Resolute Chorus] I don’t know what Tomorrow brings - Just what matters to me… Whatever comes tonight - But I’ll fight for you and me.. I’ll take up arms to see What tomorrow brings - No matter the cost - I’ll fight for my right To simply be [Outro] (.!...) (vocals strained, wounded — but unbroken) I'll fight… Even if it means… The end of me.
