[Verse 1]
What will it cost
To save her tonight?
I counted my scars
Like coins in the light
She looks at me
Like I still could be
More than the wreck
That the world made of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Name on my tongue
Fire in my chest
If I fail now
I fail my best
The door is locked
But I hear the cry
One last breath
Then I decide
[Chorus]
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
For her eyes
I won't fold
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
Give me steel
Give me gold
[Verse 2]
I wore my fear
Like a rusted crown
Dragged every vow
Through this bloodied town
But she stood still
When the dark came near
And in her face
I learned to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
Name on my tongue
Fire in my chest
If I fail now
I fail my best
The door is locked
But I hear the cry
One last breath
Then I decide
[Chorus]
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
For her eyes
I won't fold
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
Give me steel
Give me gold
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown]
If I break
Let it be in flame
If I stand
Let her know my name
No more ash
No more hollow skin
I was born
To fight back in
[Final Chorus]
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
For her eyes
I won't fold
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
Take this night
I won't let go
Rise up hero
Rise up hero
What will it cost?
I already know
