[Verse 1] You came in with dust on your hands And a crack in your armor line I watched you stand in the ruins Like the dawn had picked your side The night tried to make you smaller Tried to name you loss and ash But your pulse kept on beating Like a vow that would not pass [Pre-Chorus] Slow now Feel it turn Under your skin A fire learns Hold on This is the mark Where the fear breaks And the sky opens wide [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Right through the hurt Right through the silence The hero rises The hero rises I hear your name In the storm and the violins [Verse 2] I saw your knees in the mud Still you reached for the broken sword Not for glory, not for thunder Just to guard what you were born for And I swear when you looked at me There was lightning in your calm Like you knew that even shattered things Can become a shield, can become a song [Pre-Chorus] Slow now Feel it turn Under your skin A fire learns Hold on This is the mark Where the fear breaks And the sky opens wide [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Right through the hurt Right through the silence The hero rises The hero rises I hear your name In the storm and the violins [Bridge] If the world goes cold I will be your flame If the weight comes down I will speak your name And when the shadows shake You will not fall apart You were built from the ache And the light inside your heart [Final Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Take back the night Take back the horizon The hero rises The hero rises I hear your name And I’m rising with you, rising with you The hero rises The hero rises Right through the hurt Right through the silence
