lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots on the gravel
By the broken gate
Smoke on the east road
And the sirens wait
Meds in the crates
Shells under the floor
Every rifle loaded
And 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 of these land
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
Ones afraid of war
Get both war and shame
Commonwealth rising
Lit the flame
[Verse 2]
Cruel Mercs came hard
Step on rusted grownd
Burning our fields
Trying to burn us down
But the old farms know
How to turn and heal
And the road to home
Now is fanced with steel
[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
Ones afraid of war
Get both war and shame
Commonwealth rising
Lit the flame
[Bridge]
Let them hear our Shells
Let them see our steel
This land is Rusted
But 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
Ones afraid of war
Get both war and shame
Commonwealth rising
Lit the flame
音樂風格
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;
