In the heat of the fight, I rise,   Gold and steel under violet skies.   A melody echoes, a rhythm so pure,   My anthem of battle, my power secure.   With hammer in hand, I charge the field,   No time for retreat, no thought to yield.   The beat of the game syncs with my soul,   Each swing, each leap, toward my goal.   Lights flash as the storm rolls in,   But I stand tall, ready to win.   Fortnite's world, my stage, my song,   In every clash, I belong.   The bass of explosions, the hum of the plane,   The clash of the builds, it calls my name.   In harmony, I battle, I soar through the night,   A warrior with music, a hero in flight.   This anthem’s not over, the fight still remains,   Melodies in battle, the song of the game.
