The Moon Gave Her Away (I8 csv3.2)

hybrid orchestral electronic, gothic dark ballad, cinematic

[Intro]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
[Intimate]
She climbed the tower in her mourning black,
the city glowing amber far below,
a thousand windows turned their eyes on her
and saw just what she let the city know:
a woman with her hand upon the rail,
a long dark gown that pooled across the floor,
and every bell in all that sleepless town
rang out the hour like the night before.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Building]
But the moon rose up above the spires,
low and white and wide,
and it laid her shadow at her back
with the truth she kept inside.

[Chorus]
[Soaring]
And the moon gave her away,
laid two wings across the stone,
every feather she had hidden
from the city she called home,
she stood still and never turned,
but the light had more to say,
she was never only mourning,
and the moon gave her away.

[Verse 2]
[Hushed]
She cannot see the wings behind her heels,
no one sees the shadow that they throw,
it takes the one who's standing at your back
to tell you what the moonlight always knows,
the rose glass in the window burning red,
the old cathedral clocks still counting on,
and stretched across the stone in silver light,
the wings she thought were broken, lost and gone.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Building]
But the moon rose up above the spires,
low and white and wide,
and it laid her shadow at her back
with the truth she kept inside.

[Bridge]
[Stripped back]
So if you dress yourself in black tonight
and think the whole world only sees the dark,
remember someone's standing at your back,
the moon will find the wings behind your heart,
I saw them spread across the cold gray stone,
and I will tell you true, the way I saw:
you were never only what you wore,
you were wings, and wings, and more.

[Final Chorus]
[Full orchestra]
[Soaring]
And the moon gave her away,
laid two wings across the stone,
every feather she had hidden
from the city she called home,
she stood still and never turned,
but the light had more to say,
she was never only mourning,
and the moon gave her away,
the moon gave her away.

[Outro]
[Fading]
(look behind you)
the moon knows,
(look behind you)
the wings stay.

[End]
