Feather of Truth

Part 1: The Feather of Truth

We live on two edges and
Our burden within us hold
Our hearts asunder we cut
On the edge, want to belong
On the fire we dance
With a dream to be free
But we hold at all costs
To the things we can't see

Prepared for what Fate brings us
Within us always plays this tune
Our existence written
Judged against the Feather of Truth
Oh we know we don't belong
This song was written on our skin
And until our end comes
We hold our pain within

And now we feel awakened, after this endless dream
But still what we saw is not what they will ever see
We're meant for far greater things
Yet we're still crawling through mud
And what in life we now miss
For we can only taste blood

Prepared for what Fate brings us
Within us always plays this tune
Our existence written
Judged against the Feather of Truth
Oh we know we don't belong
This song was written on our skin
And until our end comes
We hold our pain within
Prepared for what Fate brings us
Within us always plays this tune
Our existence written
Judged against the Feather of Truth
Oh we know we don't belong
This song was written on our skin
And before our end comes
We end where we begin

Part 2: Under the Stars Enthralled

Oh I know it's hard to
Get up when you've fallen down
Alone the voices don't care for our kind
I've been there before you
I've climbed, and fell, and scraped my soul
Learnt to think about the truth
And not for whom the bell would toll

Voice 1
Look at me, I won't stop trying, I will not admit defeat
Those who quit, are the same ones, that die incomplete
We come and go, think too much, live too slow
Under the stars enthralled, and yet we dream too small

Voice 2
Don't stand at my grave and never weep, you know
I never sleep, I'm just a thousand winds that blow
Sunlight on ripened grain, diamond glint on snow
I am the force of rain - I'm the dark undertow

Voice 3
When you wake
Feel me then
I'm the starlight
I'm the rain
At my grave
Never cry
I'm not there
I did not die
See me then
In your dreams
I'll be there to take your tears
I'll be there, in the night
Let you know it'll be alright

Part 3: Before the End

Left alone in a thousand pages of notes
Together with demons and ghosts
These whispers they follow
To something bigger than me I surrender

Even when our worlds came apart
To my song of faith she responded
I gave her a part of my heart
And I got everything that I wanted

She was there, when I fell
When my body was hunted and daunted
The colors were washed off my eyes
But she was the one whom I wanted

She's a beautiful dream
Full of wonder and colour
So I called her my queen
And I promised I always would love her

I'm not hiding or waiting, I'm fighting and fading
Before the end, writing this ending
Though the shadows draw near
Her name my heart will always revere

It's the life that we built
Away from the nightmares that each one would keep
No longer asleep - singing undying
Killing me softly - no, killing defying

Two stars clashing dying for love
And the star that's now born, is shining above
No longer dark, we're shining and blinding
Submerged in the past, no, future defining

Before the end, I wished in that star
My ending tribute to her memoir
So when the feather comes to weigh me
I'd have her love set me free
