[Verse 1] You sit where the cold wind combs the ridge Silver blade held steady at your side A white bird cuts a line across the blue You let the truth arrive before you decide [Pre-Chorus] No velvet answer, no borrowed disguise You read the small print in a stranger’s eyes [Chorus] Queen of Swords, keep the window clear Cut through the words that are built on fear Kindness with a backbone, judgment without spite You name what’s true and you hold it to the light [Verse 2] A feather turns above the mountain stone Your cloak takes the weather, not the blame You learned that a boundary can be tender And a clean, plain no can guard a name [Pre-Chorus] No need to sharpen every old regret You can be soft and still not forget [Chorus] Queen of Swords, keep the window clear Cut through the words that are built on fear Kindness with a backbone, judgment without spite You name what’s true and you hold it to the light [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Dub Keyboard Solo] [Bridge] If the question comes dressed up as fate Ask what it costs to leave the gate Let the wind take what was never yours Keep your own counsel, Queen of Swords [Final Chorus] Queen of Swords, keep the window clear Cut through the words that are built on fear Kindness with a backbone, judgment without spite You name what’s true and you hold it to the light Queen of Swords, with your chin held high A steady heart beneath the winter sky [Outro] A steady heart beneath the winter sky
