[Verse 1]
Percy on the deck when the black waves climb
Salt on his skin and a knife in time
Sea foam hiss on the blood-red rail
One eye on the sky, one foot in hell
He got a prophecy folded in his coat
Names in the dark like a sinking note
Gods talk big, but they don’t bleed
He’s out in the deep with a broken need
[M]
A son of the tide with a storm in his chest
Mortal boy, but he don’t rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that thunder call
Feel that whole world split
He can take the fall
He was built for this
[Chorus]
Percy, Percy, rise with the tide (rise with the tide)
Percy, Percy, don’t you hide (don’t you hide)
Storm in your veins, fire in your eyes
Percy, Percy, fight for the light
[Verse 2]
Monsters crawl from the cracked-up foam
Every scar says he’s not alone
Spear in the mud and a prayer in pain
He keeps on walking through the hurricane
He loved too hard, lost too much
Heart like glass in a god’s cold clutch
Still when the world says bend or break
He stands in the wreck and he won’t give way
[F]
Call on the waves
Call on the name
[M]
Carry the boy
Through the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that thunder call
Feel that whole world split
He can take the fall
He was built for this
[Chorus]
Percy, Percy, rise with the tide (rise with the tide)
Percy, Percy, don’t you hide (don’t you hide)
Storm in your veins, fire in your eyes
Percy, Percy, fight for the light
[Bridge]
If the gods want war, let the sky come down
He’ll drag their crowns through the drowned-out ground
Heart still aching, still moving on
Brother by blood and the dusk before dawn
[Final Chorus]
Percy, Percy, rise with the tide (rise with the tide)
Percy, Percy, don’t you hide (don’t you hide)
Storm in your veins, fire in your eyes
Percy, Percy, fight for the light
Percy, Percy, rise with the tide
Percy, Percy, you survive
