[Intro]

[Variant Chorus]
Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
From a spark will be born a fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt

[Bridge]
Every Traveler has an end
But your epic legend just began
Standing at humanity's defense
Can you hear the second beckoning of Destiny again?

[Verse 1]
Like a feather of the phoenix - from the ashes, I'll ascend
A protector of the planet - resurrected from the dead
By the heavens, I've been sent to condemn all of the damned
And I'll make the fellas jealous with the weapon in my hands
I'm a Guardian, sorry if you're not a fan
I might've lost my Light, not like the Darkness got a chance
Attention every Hive, all the Fallen, and Vex:
Pay your penance and repent or dread the reckoning you'll get
Armageddon is their battle plan
But I'll send that tactic back at them
A galactic Shepherd with a Mass Effect
Like a Reaper, leaving a path of death
When you're messing with a bull, then you'd better expect
Gjallarhorns are what you're gonna get
I'm iron-clad, with a level head
Now light the path on which I tread
[Chorus]
Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
When a hero is born of fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt

[Verse 2]
Call off your Cabal, Dominus Ghaul
The larger the target, the harder that the dominos fall
I hate to pull my trump card, but you knocked down our walls
You have the Traveler now, but soon you'll be droppin' the ball
Every fear of death that I've had - I've forgotten 'em all
So don't waste your breath with the threats, I'm mockin'em all
I'll laugh in your face when I rip that mask off of your jaw
Your legion's awful weak for such a colossal assault
Without your grunts under your feet, you won't be walkin' so tall
Speaking of Grunts, don't you wonder if you fathered them all?
That's what the Speaker meant
When he said that you started off small
Now that you're heavier, better check on your cholesterol
You know my light's far from lost, look in our stars
I caught a glimmer of hope in a pit of dark
Cause when you go against the grain, it'll give off sparks
The Cabal will be forgotten, even from Grimoire Cards
I have climbed the icy mountains of the Iron Lords
I can siphon strikes of lightning from almighty storms
After the smiting of your acolytes that I endorsed
I will annihilate divines with their blighted swords
I've foreseen the tides of violence from the minds of war
But in the Traveler's eyes, am I worth fighting for?
By my Ghost, I rise a corpse, but my light is warm
Now set your sight on the horizon, I am Fireborn!
[Bridge]
That's right, I'm lighting a fire, I'm a survivor
Ain't nobody wearing any nicer attire
Already got an Exotic designer
Piloting speeds of light and higher
Every time I die, I'm the wiser
Making a comeback - Eye of the Tiger
You're never knocking the light out the fighter
But you'll get a fight out the light

[Chorus]
Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
When a hero is born of fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt

[Bridge]
I've walked the void into tattered timelines
I've knocked gods off of their thrones
Now I'm a shadow, outcast in twilight
Where hope is only a ghost

[Variant Chorus]
Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
From a spark will be born a fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt
[Bridge]
Can you feel this fire?
Now the light is burning
And with my future brighter
I'll show them I am worthy
To those who fly too close to the sun
You will become Fireborn

[Chorus x2]
Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
When a hero is born of fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt

Hold onto hope, I'm homeward bound
In the darkest of night, there's Light to be found
When a hero is born of fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt

[Outro]
From a spark will be born a fire
Shine through the shadow of doubt
