Oath at Dawn

Prompt

[Intro] [Fast, dramatic acoustic guitar strumming, building tempo] [Pounding war-drums kick in with driving theatrical energy] [Verse 1 - Fast, intense delivery] Where have all the good lords gone and where are all the knights? Where’s the noble paladin to fight the righteous fights? Autumn haired maiden looks out into the gray, High above the courtyard walls she watches through the day! She dreams of silver armor and a heart of pure devotion, A champion to cross the lands and ride across the ocean! [Guitar Solo - Epic, fast-paced acoustic string shredding] [Dramatic string orchestration swell] [Chorus - Explosive, dramatic, soaring vocals] I’m holding out for a hero in the dawn! He’s got to be strong, and he’s got to be fast And he’s got to be fresh from the fight! I’m holding out for a hero in the dawn! He’s got to be brave, and he’s got to be true And his armor has got to be bright! Gleaming and bright! [Verse 2 - Driving, relentless rhythm] Somewhere past the castle walls, beneath the stormy skies A warrior rides a midnight horse where silver arrows fly It takes a fierce and lawless man to break a southern cage To sweep the ladies off their feet and turn the battle's page! Through the lightning and the thunder, he is charging through the gate With a sword of flashing lightning, he will challenge every fate! [Double Chorus - Maximum energy, stadium rock vocals] I’m holding out for a hero in the dawn! He’s got to be strong, and he’s got to be fast And he’s got to be fresh from the fight! I’m holding out for a hero in the dawn! He’s got to be brave, and he’s got to be true And his armor has got to be bright! Gleaming and bright! [Bridge - High-tempo breakdown, strings and heavy percussion] [Stomp] Up where the mountains meet the heavens above! [Stomp] Out where the lightning splits the night that we love! I can feel his approach like a cresting tidal wave The noblest of the knights, the bravest of the brave! Yeah! [Guitar Solo - Epic, fast-paced acoustic string shredding] [Dramatic string orchestration swell] [Outro] [Soaring vocals fading out with high energy] Holding out for a hero! Armor shining bright! Holding out for a hero! Into the fading light! HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO!! [Final explosive drum roll] [Big dramatic finish] Style: Epic 80s-style acoustic rock ballad, driving orchestral strings, pounding heavy war-drums, theatrical, dramatic male vocals, high energy, fast tempo, heroic, romantic but aggressive, 150 BPM
