"Light King"

When the ice released its silent hold,
When the night grew thin and pale with gold,
He stepped where frozen ages lay,
Not to burn — but show the way.
No crown was forged from shattered fear,
No blade was drawn to conquer here,
He rose where broken worlds align,
To lift the weight of humankind.

From the ash of what has been,
From the dark that held us tight,
Every shadow learns to end
At the edge of rising light.

Light King — bearer of the dawn,
Standing when the night is gone.
Not to rule by fear or flame,
But to give the world its name.
Through the scars of everything,
We rise beneath the Light King.

He did not claim a perfect land,
He took the broken by the hand,
Where hope was worn and faith was thin,
He taught the world to breathe again.
No throne untouched by grief or pain,
No victory without the chain,
Yet still he stood — not crowned by might,
But by the will to guard the light.

Let the wounds remember why
We endured the endless night.
Every fall prepares the sky
For the weightless pull of light.

Light King — bearer of the dawn,
Standing when the night is gone.
Not to rule by fear or flame,
But to give the world its name.
Through the scars of everything,
We rise beneath the Light King.

He does not erase the dark.
He does not deny the scars.
He stands because we endured…
And asks us
To stand with him.

Light King — bearer of the dawn,
Standing when the night is gone.
From the frost, the stone, the flame,
We are more than what remains.
Through the scars of everything,
We rise beneath the Light King.

When the world remembers who we are,
Light no longer feels so far.
