STARSHIP RISING
Intro(Guitars feedback and a deep rumble of engines building)
Three… two… one…
Ignition sequence start…
Verse 1Out in the dust where the steel towers rise
Thirty-three voices screaming at the sky
Raptors awake in a thunderous choir
Burning the night like a funeral pyre
They told us we'd fail, said the dream was too wide
But we stacked her in silence and swallowed our pride
Now the ground starts to shake and the whole world holds breath
As the silver giant wakes from the ashes of death
Pre-ChorusFuel pressure's climbing, the tower starts to glow
This ain't no dream, man, we're ready to go
ChorusStarship rising! Tearing the heavens in two
Starship rising! Doing what rockets can't do
Through the fire and the fury, we're breaking the chain
Starship rising! We were born to leave this place
Verse 2She danced with the devil on every test flight
Came down in pieces but we still called it right
Now the booster comes home like a dog to its door
And the ship keeps on climbing, always wanting more
From Boca to orbit, from flame to the black
We're not asking permission, we're taking it back
Pre-ChorusHeat shield is screaming, the plasma burns bright
But we're still standing tall in the heart of the night
ChorusStarship rising! Tearing the heavens in two
Starship rising! Doing what rockets can't do
Through the fire and the fury, we're breaking the chain
Starship rising! We were born to leave this place
BridgeAnd when the red planet finally fills up the glass
We'll look back at Earth and we'll raise up a glass
To the ones who believed when the whole world said no
To the crazy sons of bitches who refused to let go
Chorus – bigger, finalStarship rising! (Starship!)
Through the smoke and the lies
Starship rising! (Starship!)
Watch the old world die
We were made for the fire, we were built for the fall
Starship rising!
This is the sound of us answering the call
Outro(Engines fade into reverb and distant rumble)
Starship…
Still rising…
Starship…
Never coming down…
Yeah.
