Rising of the Shield Hero None Like Joshua

[Intro]
I swear to be your sword forever
Wherever you go, I'll be there with you
Rise (8x)

[Verse 1]
I envisioned livin' in a different universe
Where life is like a game, and I play to win it first
Ladies know my name, fame, and the riches earned
Never anticipated they would lay me in the dirt
Day 1: all they gave me was a stupid shield
Day 2: they accuse me with no appeal
All my money and my armor gone, who would steal?
Then they shun me 'till I’m all alone, screw the ideals
See the rage forming all inside
I got to hate in order to survive
You made me feel this way, no remorse in mind
Yeah, it’s time, see the Shield Hero now rise

[Hook]
I seek the power, then I’ll rise
They bring me downwards, but I’ll rise
No, this life is not a game, but we got to try
Fighting every wave, 'till the day I return to mine
I seek the power, then I’ll rise
They bring me downwards, but I’ll rise
Are y'all against my name? Even I’ll defend your lives
Either way, the Shield Hero’s always gonna rise
