[Verse 1]
Ash on my sleeves, moon on the stone
I knelt for years with a cracked bone
One breath in, one breath out
I learned the shape of doubt
Old master said, "Don't chase the sky"
First you make the roots run dry
I drank the cold from the mountain stream
And fed my hands to the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Meridians wake
The pulse turns gold
I hear the gate
In my chest unfold
[Chorus]
Break the seal, break the seal
Dragon vein, turn and reel
Break the seal, break the seal
I was iron, now I heal
(More, more, more)
I rise through the bone-deep storm
Break the seal, break the seal
I was ash, now I form
[Verse 2]
Sword at my side, robe torn thin
Three inner fires hum under skin
Each scar a map, each loss a name
I bow to pain, then drink the flame
On the cliff edge, rain hit hard
My shadow split in the jade-lit yard
I stepped through fear like a paper wall
And heard the heavens start to call
[Pre-Chorus]
Meridians wake
The pulse turns gold
I hear the gate
In my chest unfold
[Chorus]
Break the seal, break the seal
Dragon vein, turn and reel
Break the seal, break the seal
I was iron, now I heal
(More, more, more)
I rise through the bone-deep storm
Break the seal, break the seal
I was ash, now I form
[Bridge]
If the world says kneel, I stand
If the storm asks, I lend my hand
Seven suns inside my breath
I do not fear the edge of death
[Chorus]
Break the seal, break the seal
Dragon vein, turn and reel
Break the seal, break the seal
I was iron, now I heal
(More, more, more)
I rise through the bone-deep storm
Break the seal, break the seal
I was ash, now I form
