[Intro] First one voice beside the fire Then ten voices in the rain Then a thousand on the hillside Calling freedom by its name [Verse] The miller sang at morning wheel The blacksmith sang at flame The shepherd taught the mountain wind To carry back the name The children hummed in market dust The widows sang at graves And every note became a torch No tyrant’s hand could save [Pre-Chorus] The dawn was not a light at first It was a human sound A chorus rising from the thirst Of hearts beneath the ground [Chorus] Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Singing till the chains are gone Every broken voice is strong When the whole world sings along Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Raise the lost, the weak, the worn Night may rule but not for long When the whole world sings along [Verse] No captain called the ranks to form No trumpet led the way A lullaby, a harvest chant Became the blade of day From coast to keep, from field to mine The hidden verses spread And every soul that sang the truth Returned from being dead [Pre-Chorus] A crown can command iron men A throne can purchase steel But songs return again, again Till every wound can heal [Chorus] Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Singing till the chains are gone Every broken voice is strong When the whole world sings along Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Raise the lost, the weak, the worn Night may rule but not for long When the whole world sings along [Hook] Sing for the fields Sing for the flame Sing for the ones They buried without name [Interlude] Dawn, dawn, rebel dawn Carry the kingdom on Dawn, dawn, rebel dawn Sing till the fear is gone [Solo] Twin guitars climb like banners high Choirs answer from the sky Drums roll wide like open gates The sleeping kingdom wakes [Bridge] I stood upon a weathered stone And heard the valley cry Not for a prince alone restored But for the right to rise If I must be the name they need Then let my name be shared For no true crown is ever worn Unless the people care [Breakdown] One voice Two voices Ten become a sea One spark Two sparks Burning to be free [Build-up] Louder Louder Let the towers shake Louder Louder Let the tyrant wake [Chorus] Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Singing till the chains are gone Every broken voice is strong When the whole world sings along Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Raise the lost, the weak, the worn Night may rule but not for long When the whole world sings along [Chorus] Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Through the storm we carry on Every broken voice is strong When the whole world sings along Hear the choirs of the rebel dawn Raise the crownless and unborn Night may rule but not for long When the whole world sings along [Outro] First one voice beside the fire Then all voices in the rain And the dawn no sword could summon Rose in music once again
