[Verse 1]
When the sky splits open wide
And the trumpet shakes the ground
You kneel in the burning dust
While the world goes caving down
His hand finds your trembling heart
Like a brand in holy flame
He says, “Rise, my chosen one”
And you rise in His name
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel the iron in your bones
You feel the thunder in your chest
No fear can chain your hands
No shadow stays your breath
The gates are groaning now
The night has shown its face
You step into the fire
With judgment on your blade
[Chorus]
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, stand
Sword of heaven in your hand
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, fight
Guard the throne through endless night
(Chosen warrior)
[Verse 2]
Heretical flames crawl near
With poison on their tongues
They claw at the golden walls
They strike where hymns are sung
But you were forged for this
In the hour the stars went black
A shield of holy wrath
And you never step back
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel the iron in your bones
You feel the thunder in your chest
No fear can chain your hands
No shadow stays your breath
The gates are groaning now
The night has shown its face
You step into the fire
With judgment on your blade
[Chorus]
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, stand
Sword of heaven in your hand
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, fight
Guard the throne through endless night
(Chosen warrior)
[Bridge]
Half-time march, armor ringing
Every lie comes crashing down
You won’t bend, you won’t break
You wear the white and gold like a crown
One last vow, one last blaze
Let the false kings fall away
You were born at the end of worlds
To hold the line that day
[Final Chorus]
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, stand
Sword of heaven in your hand
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, fight
Guard the throne through endless night
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, stand
Heaven knows you make your stand
Chosen warrior, rise
Chosen warrior, fight
Guard the throne through endless night
(Chosen warrior)
