Verse 1 - Daniel, rock vocal lead)
Beacon cafeteria, midday sun's soft gleam,
Weiss by my side, living out our shared dream.
Then Crimson Lions swaggered, all bluster and loud,
Trying to shove past Ruby, to stand out from the crowd.
Yang's eyes flashed with fire, Blake readied her steel,
But I stepped up first, how this power would feel…
(Pre-Chorus - Daniel, with Team RWBYD starting to layer harmonies)
(Daniel) No need for a punch, no semblance deployed,
(RWBYD) Just a shift in the air, a small truth unveiled, unalloyed.
(Chorus - Full Rock, Epic FFVII-style melody, strong four-part harmonies from Team RWBYD under Daniel's lead)
(Daniel) That azure warning, deep within my gaze,
(RWBYD) A RIPPLE OF POWER, THROUGH A FRIGHTENED HAZE!
(Daniel) The Crimson Lions froze, their bravado all gone,
(RWBYD) A SILENT COMMAND BEFORE A NEW DAWN!
(Daniel) Hydro-force restrained, but they felt the raw might,
(RWBYD) Scattered like embers, vanishing from sight!
(Verse 2 - Daniel, rock vocal lead)
The tale of the cafeteria spread through the halls,
How Team Crimson faltered, ignoring good calls.
Roman wasn't present for that little display,
But we met him that evening, he stood in our way.
Flynt Coal at his flank, with a confident sneer,
Torchwick just chuckled, "What new tricks have we here?"
(Pre-Chorus - Daniel, with Team RWBYD harmonies building)
(Daniel) He mocked my arrival, that fall from the blue,
(RWBYD) But the power that saved me, he'd feel it anew.
(Chorus - Full Rock, Epic FFVII-style melody, strong four-part harmonies from Team RWBYD under Daniel's lead)
(Daniel) That azure warning, deep within my gaze,
(RWBYD) A RIPPLE OF POWER, THROUGH HIS ARROGANT HAZE!
(Daniel) Torchwick’s smirk wavered, Flynt started to sweat,
(RWBYD) A SILENT COMMAND THAT THEY WOULDN’T FORGET!
(Daniel) Hydro-force restrained, but they felt the raw might,
(RWBYD) Even Roman Torchwick considered his flight!
(Bridge - Music might soften, more focus on layered vocals, then builds back)
(Daniel) This power awakened, that saved me from height, (Harmony: Saved him from height)
Now tempered by reason, by love, and by light.
(Daniel, with Weiss joining his melody, other two harmonizing)
For Weiss, for our team, I will hold back the ocean's deep roar,
(Full Team RWBYD, powerful harmony)
But threaten our peace, and you'll feel its full war!
(Short Instrumental Break - Guitar solo with orchestral backing, FFVII battle style, ending on a dramatic sustained chord that transitions into a quieter, more resolved feel for the outro)
(Outro - Slower tempo, more reflective, strong harmonies)
(Daniel) Roman just scoffed, but he backed down that day,
(RWBYD Harmony) Some warnings unspoken still light up the way.
(Daniel, softer, looking at Weiss) This life in Remnant, so wild and so grand,
(Daniel & Weiss, with RWBY harmonizing gently) Forever content, when I'm holding your hand.
(Music fades with a final, resolved barbershop-esque chord, perhaps with a gentle water sound effect.)
