lyrics

A shiver in the storm ahead
A sliver in your eye
A splinter underfoot
Against a thousand steps to climb
We walk the test of wisdom
And dance the whim of fools
But this is our tradition
These are not our rules
Once it was of wonder
Then it turned to shame
Once it broke your will apart
And played it like a game
Now the swollen river
Is pushing back the stream
The rain would be a blessing
If it wasn't for the heat
We spoke in words of winter
In a breath of icy haze
Our tongues became the chisels
The craft of our own pace
We spoke of our own weakness
Achilles at his best
An open strike upon the heel
We trusted as test
The storm it brings a golden light
Reflecting our own worth
And blocks a shadow cast
With every golden birth
Will it be a falling flame
An ember in the night?
The dying of a distant star
The passing of the light?
We act upon contrition
And take into account
The load we bear is heavy

Rewards we cannot count
They find a way to climb you
Like weeds upon a branch
Their flower yields a poison
Tangled feet and swayed the path
In the turning sky
We will fly & fall
& the stars will rise
When they hear your call
And now we hear the echo
In a voice we used to trust
Far and unfamiliar
Choking words of dust
The song is dry and empty
And longing for the stream
To quench the desert flower
And drink upon the dream
Beneath your tired feet
The water flows unseen
And the willow sways above
With the roots secure beneath
The layers of creation
The path of our intent
From the river's deepest point
The mortar keeps it bent
In the turning sky
We will fly and fall
And the stars will rise
When they hear your call
