Rise Like Thunder
Cinematic pop anthem with dueling male & female leads and massive choir. Starts on soft pulsing synth and distant strings, then swells into full orchestra and layered epic choir on the chorus. Drums build from tom-heavy heartbeat to thunderous hits with cymbal swells. Bridge strips to piano and intimate vocals before a final, towering key-lift chorus., dramatic, heartfelt, male vocals, female vocals

Lyrics
Intro
Low sky
Slow breath
One step
One test
Verse 1
I was counting every crack in the pavement
Talking to the ghosts in my chest
You were lighting little fires in the dark room
Saying
"This is how we learn not to quit"
Pre-Chorus
Hands shake
Heart races
But we keep
Trading places
Chorus
We rise like thunder
Breaking open the heavy air
Every scar
Every stumble
Screaming out that we were there
From the ashes of our failures
To the edge of something brave
We rise like thunder
And the world will know our names
Verse 2
You were standing with your back to the sunrise
Tremble in your jaw
But you stayed
I was drowning in the weight of the silence
Till your voice cut through like a blade
Pre-Chorus
Your fear
My fear
Same storm
Same mirror
Chorus
Bridge
[male vocal
Low]
If my voice starts shaking
Will you sing for me?
[female vocal
Soft]
If your hands start fading
I will pull you free
[Both
Building]
Every "never"
Every "won't"
Turns to battle cries we own
Every moment we were broken
Pours into this open throat
crescendo][epic choir joins
Chorus
