(Verse 1) I was a stony-hearted apprentice with a tongue like a thorn, Cursing the stars since the day I was born. Then I saw the silver of a RiverClan stream, A gentle spirit in a hunter’s dream. She saw the tom beneath the WindClan pride, The only one who truly stepped inside. But the mountains took her, and I died there too, Beneath the weight of the sky that she fell through. (Chorus) My name is the ghost of a Feather in flight, A shadow that’s searching for warmth in the night. Between the memory and the medicine cat’s gaze, I’ve spent my whole life lost in a haze. Two halves of a heart that I gave to the wind, Paying for the love that they told me was sinned. (Verse 2) I thought the ice had frozen my soul, Until I saw her, and I felt myself whole. Leafpool, with eyes like the morning light, A forbidden flame burning through the night. We ran where the border lines couldn't reach, Beyond the lessons that the Clan leaders teach. But duty is a tether that pulls us back home, Leaving me broken and destined to roam. (Bridge) I took a mate to prove that I was loyal and true, But every time I closed my eyes, I was looking for you. One was the sacrifice, the first to depart, The other the secret I kept in my heart. My son hates the ground that I tread, Living a life with the ghosts of the dead. (Chorus) My name is the ghost of a Feather in flight, A shadow that’s searching for warmth in the night. Between the memory and the medicine cat’s gaze, I’ve spent my whole life lost in a haze. Two halves of a heart that I gave to the wind, Paying for the love that they told me was sinned. (Outro) The moor is silent, the heather is grey, I’m just an old warrior waiting for day. When I reach StarClan, who will be there? The silver fur or the brown tabby’s care? Until then, I’m the shadow, I’m the crow, Carrying the loves that the Clans will never know. Never know.
