[Verse 1] You’ve got a folded map and a question in your coat A bright blade of an idea, a sentence in your throat You watch the weather turn, you read the room for signs Quick hands, clear eyes, collecting little lines [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call the wind a warning Don’t call a spark a flame Ask what you came here asking Then listen for its name [Chorus] Page of Swords, keep your eyes wide Cut through the story, let the truth decide Curious heart with a steady hand You can change your mind and still take a stand Page of Swords, speak it plain Let the question sharpen, not become a chain [Verse 2] You hear a rumor pass and turn it in the light Check the source, check the hour, check what feels right Your words can open doors or leave a little scar So aim them like a compass, not a thrown stone in the dark [Pre-Chorus] The answer isn’t armor The doubt is not defeat A mind that keeps on moving Can still choose where to meet [Chorus] Page of Swords, keep your eyes wide Cut through the story, let the truth decide Curious heart with a steady hand You can change your mind and still take a stand Page of Swords, speak it plain Let the question sharpen, not become a chain [Instrumental Break: expressive bent-note blues guitar solo trading phrases with dubby psychedelic keys] [Bridge] Take one breath before the message leaves your mouth Make room for what you don’t know yet A keen mind can turn north Without pretending it has seen the whole map [Final Chorus] Page of Swords, keep your eyes wide Cut through the story, let the truth decide Curious heart with a steady hand You can change your mind and still take a stand Page of Swords, speak it plain Let the question sharpen, not become a chain [Outro] Keep the question close Keep your footing light A clear-eyed beginning Can travel far tonight
