[Verse 1]
In the dark where the weak hearts tremble,
Where hope feels thin like fading light,
I walked alone with the weight of the world,
Every scar telling me I survived.
Broken streets, broken promises,
Voices screaming “you’ll never be enough,”
But deep inside the quiet chaos,
I felt a fire no storm could shut.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been down on my knees in the ashes,
Heard the doubt calling out my name,
But pain forged a blade in my spirit,
Now I rise from the flame.
[Chorus]
I am the hero they never believed in,
Standing tall when the sky falls down,
From the dust, from the fear, from the silence,
I wear my crown without a sound.
I bleed, I break, but I keep on breathing,
Through the storm, through the war inside,
When the night tries to steal my meaning,
That’s when heroes rise.
[Post-Chorus – Instrumental Break]
(Drums drop out — low bass pulse — guitar swells)
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen angels fall to their shadows,
Seen kings bow to their own regret,
I’ve carried names of the ones I lost,
Every promise I haven’t kept.
Hands shaking, but my heart steady,
Every step feels like destiny,
If this road is carved by suffering,
Then pain made the man in me.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve been crushed by the weight of the moment,
Felt the end breathing down my spine,
But the voice in my chest kept saying,
“This is your time.”
[Chorus – Bigger, Full Band]
I am the hero they never believed in,
Standing tall when the sky falls down,
From the dust, from the fear, from the silence,
I wear my crown without a sound.
I bleed, I break, but I keep on breathing,
Through the storm, through the war inside,
When the night tries to steal my meaning,
That’s when heroes rise.
[Bridge – Breakdown, Half-Time]
Take my fear — I’ll turn it to power,
Take my scars — they tell my truth,
If I fall, I’ll fall forward fighting,
I’ve got nothing left to lose.
Let the world see the cracks in my armor,
Let them know I was human first,
Because legends aren’t born from comfort,
They’re born from hurt.
[Guitar Solo – Emotional → Explosive]
(Start slow, melodic, crying bends — then build into fast, soaring notes)
(Let the guitar scream what words can’t say)
[Final Chorus – Anthem Style]
I am the hero I almost gave up on,
Now I stand in the blinding light,
Every tear, every loss, every battle,
Led me here tonight.
I bleed, I break, but I keep believing,
Even when hope feels thin and gone,
When the dark thinks it finally won,
That’s when heroes rise.
[Outro – Solo Guitar Returns, Soft]
(Same melody as intro, but stronger, resolved)
Yeah… that’s when heroes rise.
