[Verse 1] After the vast war Smoke on the fields He walked through the ruins With iron on his heels Brotherhood fell quiet By the broken gate Institute bent low Under his weight
[Pre-Chorus] And the people looked up Through the ash and rain He said, "We start over We build again"
[Chorus] Rise, Commonwealth Rise again He took the crown With a calloused hand Rise, Commonwealth Stand as one He made a new day Out of dust and blood (Commonwealth) (Commonwealth)
[Verse 2] Out in the market The hammer rang clear Kids on the corner Had nothing to fear He raised up the roads He raised up the walls Put names on the houses Put hope in them all
[Pre-Chorus] And the people looked up Through the ash and rain He said, "We start over We build again"
[Chorus] Rise, Commonwealth Rise again He took the crown With a calloused hand Rise, Commonwealth Stand as one He made a new day Out of dust and blood (Commonwealth) (Commonwealth)
[Bridge] No more wandering No more chains One hard land With a will to tame From the old world To the newborn dawn He stood like a promise And carried on
[Final Chorus] Rise, Commonwealth Rise again He took the crown With a calloused hand Rise, Commonwealth Stand as one He made a new day Out of dust and blood (Commonwealth) (Commonwealth)
Стиль музыки
Country with heroic melodic drive, mid-tempo four-on-the-floor kick and bright picked acoustic guitar; verse rides steel guitar and low piano, pre-chorus lifts with snare rolls and stacked harmonies, chorus opens wide with gang vocals and anthem chords. Lead vocal stays close-mic and gritty, with doubled hook lines, short delay throws on key words, and a fiddle tag between sections. Clean, punchy mix with a wide cinematic chorus lift., country
