About this song
She died beneath the sun of Theros. She walked the Underworld alone. But death could not hold a heart that beats for those in pain. This cinematic anthem celebrates Elspeth, Storm Slayer - the planeswalker who turned her suffering into strength and her soldiers into legions.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) I have walked through worlds that burned Watched the homes I loved get turned Into ash beneath a tyrant's hand So I became where others stand I was broken once before Left for dead on Theros' shore But the underworld could not contain A heart that beats for those in pain (Pre-Chorus) Where one stands, another rises Light reflected, hope surprises You see a soldier, I see two Every shield becomes a few (Chorus) I will be your dawn When the night has gone too long I will be the wings you wear Lifting armies through the air Strike me down, I rise again Carry me through fire and rain I am not the storm they fear I'm the light that holds you here (Verse 2) Let the giants come for us Let them bring their hate and dust I've stood against the gods themselves And watched their glory fall to shells Every soldier at my side Grows in strength, begins to rise What was weak becomes the wave That turns the hopeless into brave (Pre-Chorus) Where one falls, another carries Light that spreads and never tarries You send your best, I send my heart And watch your empire fall apart (Chorus) I will be your dawn When the night has gone too long I will be the wings you wear Lifting armies through the air Strike me down, I rise again Carry me through fire and rain I am not the storm they fear I'm the light that holds you here (Bridge) They called me sun-cursed They called me slain They left me buried In death's domain But every soul I ever saved Became the reason that I stayed And when I rose from endless night I brought ten thousand points of light (Final Chorus) I will be your dawn I have been the dark too long I will be the wings you wear Doubled hope beyond compare Strike me down, I rise again Every ending starts again I am not the storm you see I'm the calm that sets you free (Outro) Rise... rise... On wings of light we rise...
