Knight of Swords

V6

[Verse 1] You cut through the clouds with your collar pulled high, Steel in your fist and a storm in your eye. Your horse eats the road, your thoughts run ahead, A thousand sharp answers still crowding your head. [Pre-Chorus] You’ve got the truth on the tip of your tongue, But the wind turns the words before they’re sung. [Chorus] Knight of Swords, ride—what are you chasing? A clear blue morning or a door worth breaking? Speed is a promise that can leave you blind; Take one breath, let the heart catch your mind. Knight of Swords, hold fast, then choose— Not every battle is yours to lose. [Verse 2] You name every flaw in the map and the plan, You’d rather be right than be understood, man. The old bridge shakes where the river runs fast, And courage is knowing what danger to pass. [Pre-Chorus] Your blade can divide what the fear has confused, But a word once released can’t be recalled or reused. [Chorus] Knight of Swords, ride—what are you chasing? A clear blue morning or a door worth breaking? Speed is a promise that can leave you blind; Take one breath, let the heart catch your mind. Knight of Swords, hold fast, then choose— Not every battle is yours to lose. [Instrumental: expressive blues guitar solo trading with dubby psychedelic keyboard phrases] [Bridge] The card turns over, the road forks in two, There’s fire in the will, but the aim must be true. Let thought be the compass, let patience be reins; A sharp mind can shelter as well as take aim. [Final Chorus] Knight of Swords, ride—now you know what you’re facing; A clear-eyed answer, no need for the racing. Speed is a tool, not a reason to run; Take one breath, then move like the rising sun. Knight of Swords, hold fast, then choose— The truest victory is yours to use. [Outro] The road keeps turning beneath your wheels; A steady hand knows what the spirit feels.
