Lyrics

[Intro – Guzheng strum + ambient wind FX, reverse pad swelling]
[Sound FX: vinyl crackle, cinematic whoosh, heartbeat bass begins to pulse]
[Male voice – calm and deep, spoken]
“Balance… is not silence. It’s war, made calm.”
[Flute melody enters softly]
[Whisper FX: “Rise… rise…”]

[Build-up – Orchestral hit + reversed snare sweep]
[VOX FX: “Skai… GodAR… Liu Fuyang… Rise Up!”]
[Guzheng pluck turns into chopped sample loop as beat kicks in]

⸻

[Verse 1 – Deep confident flow]
Every scar’s a medal, every fall’s a climb
I ain’t racing nobody, I move in my time
Love on my chest, rage in my spine
When the world throws dirt, I refine that grind

[FX: crowd cheer rising underneath]
[Hi-hat triplets + filtered bass wobble under verse]
Cut from cloth that don’t fray in storms
Calm on the surface, thunder’s my form
Talk balance? I lived through extremes
Now I move like smoke through broken dreams

⸻

[Hook – Chant-style, echoed vocals layered with female harmony]
I rise – like kings with no crown
I roar – when the silence gets loud
I breathe – where pain used to live
I fight – with the love that I give

[FX: Sub drop + chant vocals: “Eye of the tiger… soul of the flame!”]
[Flute glides under 808 hit]

⸻

[Verse 2 – Swagger flow, grounded confidence]
She said “You too calm” – nah, I’m locked in
War in my past, now peace is my win
Got hands that build, mind that bends
Love’s my blade, and I cut loose ends

Balance ain’t luck, it’s daily decision
Eye of the storm but I see with precision
All heart, no brakes, just breath and vision
If it ain’t love, I don’t give it permission

[FX: vocal cut “Permission!” with delay]

⸻

[Hook – Repeats with added layers]
I rise – like a phoenix in ash
I roar – through every relapse
I breathe – ‘cause I earned that peace
I fight – for the life I release

[Background: Vocal harmony “Ooooh, I rise… I fight… I live…”]
[FX: spark hit + low brass boom]

⸻

[Bridge – Spoken word, layered FX + riser]
“You think power’s noise? Nah… Power is focus.”
“You think love is weakness? Nah… It’s precision.”
“I ain’t a storm. I’m the eye that controls it.”

⸻

[Final Chorus – Big drop + crowd chant layering]
I rise – like truth in a lie
I roar – with tears that dry
I breathe – like a dawn unchained
I fight – and I rise again!

[Chant call + response: “RISE!” / “AGAIN!” / “ROAR!” / “BEGIN!”]
[Outro: flute trails off + heartbeat bass fades + soft female voice whisper “Rise…”]
