[Intro — spoken/whispered, soft strings + distant drums]
It is I — your child,
Calling upon you, oh mighty ones.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Rise up.
---
[Verse 1 — low strings, soft percussion]
Gather everyone who walks with me,
Stand steady, stand tall.
Sound a call so loud it cannot be denied.
Let your voices roar,
Awakening from sleep.
---
[Pre-Chorus 1 — building tension]
From shadowed halls and broken thrones,
Answer now the ancient drum.
The march of hearts,
Has just begun.
---
[Chorus 1 — full but restrained]
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Queens and Kings, Emperors of my line, arise again!
Shine your light upon me, give me strength.
Break the chains that held us down.
We were once great — let greatness live again!
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Hear my call, hear my voice!
---
[Instrumental Break — swelling orchestra + choir chants]
(let the music breathe here — soaring strings, drums, distant choir “ahh”)
---
[Verse 2 — stronger, more rhythmic]
Once we walked with stars upon our crowns, unbound.
Guided by fire, by story, by the river’s sound.
Now the smoke has cleared — I call your name again.
Bring the wisdom of the ages back into my veins.
---
[Pre-Chorus 2 — higher energy]
No more silence, no more sleep,
Rise from ashes, rise from grief.
Take the path, reclaim the flame.
The world shall know your name!
---
[Chorus 2 — louder, more layered]
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Queens and Kings, Emperors of my line, arise again!
Let your light shine upon me, give me strength.
Rise and rule through me, and those who come from me!
Break the shackles, break the chains, break the cages of the past.
We were once great — let greatness shine once more!
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Hear my call, hear my voice!
---
[Bridge — spoken then sung, quiet then swelling]
(Spoken, soft, with strings underneath)
Hear the whisper in the bones,
The promise in the stones.
(Softly sung, building)
From every road and ruined gate,
Come, reclaim the weight…
Lift your hands,
Carve the fate.
---
[Chorus 3 — massive, full orchestra + choir]
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Rise in thunder, rise in light, rise in sacred fire!
Let the heavens bend, let kingdoms bow.
Let every shadow break and scatter now!
We were once great — greatness flows again through me.
Rise, oh mighty ones — rise up!
Hear my call, hear my voice!
---
[Final Anthem / Outro — choir echoes, drums, brass swells]
Rise! Rise! Rise!
(Choir echoes)
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Wake up…
Wake up…
Rise up…
Hear my call.
Hear my voice.
Rise.
