Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots on the gravel
By the broken gate
Smoke on the east road
And the sirens wait
Meds in the crates
Kids under the floor
Every hand is shaking
But we lock the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General stood tall
On the radio light
Said, "Hold your ground now
We fight tonight"
Every heart in the camp
Started beating as one
He raised that old banner
And called for the sun
[Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
[Verse 2]
They came in hard
With their rusted crown
Burning our fields
Trying to burn us down
But the old farms know
How to turn and heal
And the road to home
Got a sharpened feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General stood tall
On the radio light
Said, "Hold your ground now
We fight tonight"
Every heart in the camp
Started beating as one
He raised that old banner
And called for the sun
[Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
[Bridge]
Let them hear our dust
Let them taste our steel
This land remembers
And it bites back still
No one takes this home
No one breaks this line
We were born in the ash
Now the ash is mine
[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
Boots on the gravel
By the broken gate
Smoke on the east road
And the sirens wait
Meds in the crates
Kids under the floor
Every hand is shaking
But we lock the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General stood tall
On the radio light
Said, "Hold your ground now
We fight tonight"
Every heart in the camp
Started beating as one
He raised that old banner
And called for the sun
[Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
[Verse 2]
They came in hard
With their rusted crown
Burning our fields
Trying to burn us down
But the old farms know
How to turn and heal
And the road to home
Got a sharpened feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General stood tall
On the radio light
Said, "Hold your ground now
We fight tonight"
Every heart in the camp
Started beating as one
He raised that old banner
And called for the sun
[Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
[Bridge]
Let them hear our dust
Let them taste our steel
This land remembers
And it bites back still
No one takes this home
No one breaks this line
We were born in the ash
Now the ash is mine
[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth rising
Raise your hand
Commonwealth rising
Take your stand
Full out war
On the crawling shame
Commonwealth rising
Say the name
Style of Music
Country melodic patriotic anthem at a driving mid-tempo with twangy acoustic guitar, steady drums, and steel-guitar lines that lift into a heroic chorus; verse 1 stays lean with boots, radios, and tense camp detail, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising snare roll, chorus hits wide with gang vocals and a big unison hook, bridge drops to voice and acoustic before a final lift. Close-mic lead vocal, warm doubles in the chorus, short delay throws on the hook words, dust-and-sparks ear candy between lines, bright punchy mix with a wide open finish., country
