[Verse 1]
I walked the jade stairs
With mud on my knees
Three hundred trials
And one broken key
The moon on my sleeve
The sword in my hand
I came with a vow
To outgrow this land
[Pre-Chorus]
I swallowed the fire
I learned the ache
I turned every wound
Into a gate
[Chorus]
Realm of light, take me home
Realm of light, let me grow
I rise, I rise
Through the long, dark road
Realm of light, call my name
Realm of light, make me flame
I rise, I rise
Till my bones turn gold
[Verse 2]
Nine spirits circling
Around my breath
I feed each scar
Then I bury death
With every step
My meridians sing
I was a seed
Now I wear the spring
[Pre-Chorus]
I swallowed the fire
I learned the ache
I turned every wound
Into a gate
[Chorus]
Realm of light, take me home
Realm of light, let me grow
I rise, I rise
Through the long, dark road
Realm of light, call my name
Realm of light, make me flame
I rise, I rise
Till my bones turn gold
[Bridge]
If the heavens close
I’ll split the sky
If my heart breaks
I’ll still climb
No final bell
Can end this fight
I was born in dusk
But I live in light
[Final Chorus]
Realm of light, take me home
Realm of light, let me grow
I rise, I rise
Through the long, dark road
Realm of light, call my name
Realm of light, make me flame
I rise, I rise
Till my bones turn gold
Realm of light, I’m alive
Realm of light, I will shine
I rise, I rise
In the realm of light
