[Intro]
Yell for ‘er

Get into the cellar

[Spoken Vocal – filtered]
Stormrider
(Ride the line)
Whether we break or stand
Weather the storm in hand
[Electric Guitar Fade-In – Sustained Notes]
[Verse 1]
Black sky bending, pressure on the wire
Lightning tracing veins of living fire
Whether we flee or face the night
Weather the chaos, hold on tight
Every mile a question in the wind
Every step a place we’ve never been
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the current pulling at the frame
Whether we fall or rise, it calls our name
[Chorus]
Stormrider
(Ride the line)
Through the weather
(Out of time)
Hold the center whether worlds collide
Stormrider
Don’t you hide
[Post-Chorus]
Stormrider
(Stay alive)
Whether the night is black or gray
Weather it all, don’t fade away
[Verse 2]
Rain like static falling through the night
Signal lost inside the flashing light
Whether the ground will shift or stay
Weather the blows and carve your way
Every drop a memory hitting fast
Every strike erasing what has passed
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean into the chaos, don’t resist
Whether you win or lose, persist
[Chorus]
Stormrider
(Ride the line)
Through the weather
(Out of time)
Stand unbroken whether currents divide
Stormrider
Be the guide

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Beat Drops Out – Sub Bass + Sparse Percussion]
[Spoken / Layered Vocals]
Not above it
Not below
Whether you bend or break, you go
Through the center is the only road
Every fear a wave to ride
Every loss the turning tide
Weather it all, through storm and night
[Build]
[Percussion Builds – Tribal Rhythm, Rising Synth Arp]
Ride—
Don’t fall away
Ride—
Through the break
[Climax]
[Full Band – Heavy Distortion, Wide Synth Pads, Driving Bass]
Stormrider!
Whether you fade
Weather the blaze
[Final Chorus]
Stormrider
(Ride the line)
Through the weather
(Out of time)
When it shatters, be the force inside
Stormrider
Turn the tide
Whether the sky burns bright or dim
Weather the world on a whim
[Outro]
[Stripped Down – Clean Guitar, Soft Piano, Wind FX]
Stormrider…
(Ride the line)
Whether…
Weather…
