[Verse 1] Broken stone under my boots Ash on my hands, still warm I walked through the dark hour With a name I had to form [Verse 2] Flags torn off the gates Crowns buried in the mud They said I was too small But I kept that fire in blood [Pre-Chorus] Now the ground starts to shake Hear the old walls call Every scar that I wear Turns the night to dawn [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the fire, I stand The hero rises The hero rises A new sun in my hands [Verse 3] I saw the bridge collapse I saw the thunder break Still I ran toward the edge For the world I had to wake [Pre-Chorus] Now the ground starts to shake Hear the old walls call Every scar that I wear Turns the night to dawn [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the fire, I stand The hero rises The hero rises A new sun in my hands [Bridge] Call my name in the dust I am not the same man Every wound made me steel Every fall made a plan [Final Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the fire, I stand The hero rises The hero rises A new sun in my hands The hero rises The hero rises No chain can hold my light The hero rises The hero rises I was born for this fight
