[Verse 1]
He came in with a broken blade
Mud on his boots, blood on his face
One by one, they closed him in
Claws in the dark, teeth in the rain
Down on his knees, he shook and he bled
Still he kept that fire in his head
He spit out fear, he bit down hard
Counted the scars like a battle card
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the roar, feel the ground shake
One more hit, but he won't break
Hands in the dirt, he pulls himself high
Blackened eyes in the red sky
[Chorus]
Rise up now
Rise up now
He won't bow down
He won't bow down
Blood and sweat
Blood and sweat
He stands alone
He stands alone
[Verse 2]
They came like waves from a mouth of night
All those monsters, all those bites
He swung till the air went sharp and thin
Every wound just dragged him in
Then the silence hit like a hollow drum
He wiped his mouth and the day grew numb
No crowd, no prayer, no helping hand
Just one man left to take his stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the roar, feel the ground shake
One more hit, but he won't break
Hands in the dirt, he pulls himself high
Blackened eyes in the red sky
[Chorus]
Rise up now
Rise up now
He won't bow down
He won't bow down
Blood and sweat
Blood and sweat
He stands alone
He stands alone
[Bridge]
On his knees, he learned the cost
Every fear he had got lost
Then he rose with a fierce new face
A storm in his chest, a scar in place
[Final Chorus]
Rise up now
Rise up now
He won't bow down
He won't bow down
Blood and sweat
Blood and sweat
He stands alone
He stands alone
Rise up now
Rise up now
He won't break
He won't break
