[Verse 1] Ornate chains of gold and night Hold the weight of shadow and light Black feathers drift in purple haze Crystal shards where darkness stays A crescent moon on the heavy side While golden rays on the other rise [Chorus] Dark and Light, the scales still turn Neither wins, the fire still burns Precariously held in the middle air One breath too much and the balance tears Dark and Light… forever aware [Verse 2] White plumes glow with living flame A diamond heart that knows no name Swirling smoke and sacred spark Dancing close yet worlds apart The fulcrum stands in silent grace While both sides fight for the same space [Chorus] Dark and Light, the scales still turn Neither wins, the fire still burns Precariously held in the middle air One breath too much and the balance tears Dark and Light… forever aware [Bridge] If the dark should tip the beam Would the light still dare to dream? If the light should claim the sky Would the shadows learn to die? No… they lean, they lean, they lean… Caught between what is and what has been [Final Chorus – softer, then building] Dark and Light, the scales still turn Neither wins… the fire still burns Precariously held in the middle air One breath too much and the balance tears Dark and Light… Still they share… Still they share… [Outro – fading] Still they share… In the golden dark… In the shadowed light… Forever aware…
