Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Before your world knew how to speak my name
I was already burning with the same old flame
Forged in the heart of a dying sun
I've watched a thousand empires come undone
Thran hands shaped me, Urza held me close
Planeswalkers wore me coast to coast
I don't pick sides, I don't choose the throne
I just give power to whoever calls me home
(Pre-Chorus)
You think you found me? I found you
Reached across the ages, pulled you through
Put me on and feel your spirit climb
I've been waiting here since before time
(Chorus)
I am the first light, I am the flame
I knew your hunger before you came
Every hand that holds me feels the same
Ancient fire running through their veins
Sol Ring, Sol Ring, burning bright
Older than the oldest night
Put me on and understand
The sun itself is in your hand
(Verse 2)
I've sat in vaults beneath forgotten stone
Been passed through hands of flesh and bone
They think they own me, think I'm theirs to keep
But I've watched every master fall asleep
Kingdoms crumble, gods have come and gone
Yawgmoth fell but I keep burning on
The Phyrexians tried to claim my light
Even they could not survive the night
(Pre-Chorus)
You're not the first and won't be last
I am the future and the past
Put me on and feel your spirit climb
I've been waiting here since before time
(Chorus)
I am the first light, I am the flame
I knew your hunger before you came
Every hand that holds me feels the same
Ancient fire running through their veins
Sol Ring, Sol Ring, burning bright
Older than the oldest night
Put me on and understand
The sun itself is in your hand
(Bridge)
Born from stellar fire, forged in cosmic dust
Everything decays, but I don't rust
The Thran are gone, their cities ash and sand
But I remain, waiting for another hand
So take me up, wear me like a crown
I'll still be burning when your world falls down
(Final Chorus)
I am the first light, I am the flame
Long before your spark, I was the same
Every soul who wears me knows the truth
I am power, I am living proof
Sol Ring, Sol Ring, burning bright
The origin of endless might
When the last star fades to black
I'll still be here, still looking back
