Nine Signs of Light

Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen I carve the signs into the air, Drawing strength from breath and pain Shadows cling to every step I take, Voices cut like broken blades I learned to fight, I learned to scar, To keep my fear restrained I split the night, I crossed the line, Believing wounds would set me free But every cut I left behind Still echoed back inside of me If I sever all the dark, Will the light still know my name? Or am I just another soul Burning quietly in flame? Turn the poison into light, Let my wounds begin to shine All the venom in my veins Becomes the fire where I rise I won't deny the tears I've cried, I won't erase the past I've seen I face the dark, I breathe it in, And turn it into something clean Turn the poison into light, Let my scars become my wings From the ashes of my old wrath, A brighter truth begins to sing Every cut, every sign, Every night I've walked through pain Leads me here, unbroken still, Reborn beyond the flame Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen I stand within this quiet fire, Whole again—and breathing light
