Where the Wings Turn

Verse 1 Do not reach for steel too fast The forest remembers what you cast Every footprint, branch and bone Marks a life that’s not your own Hear the river shape the stone See how nothing stands alone Claw and root and feathered sky Live by laws you can’t deny Pre-Chorus They are not fury without name Nor beasts that burn for sport or fame Chorus Watch how the wings turn with the wind How tooth and talon serve the land they’re in Before you judge what stalks the night Learn what it guards, what it must fight The wild does not in malice move It follows truths we’ve yet to prove Verse 2 That roar you fear at break of dawn Is hunger’s call, not hatred drawn The shattered trees, the scattered stone May mark a boundary you’ve not known The frost that clings to Legiana’s flight Keeps balance in the mountain’s height Predator and prey entwined Threads within a single design Pre-Chorus If you would stand where monsters tread First understand the path they’ve led Chorus Watch how the wings turn with the wind How scale and shadow shield their kin Before you raise a righteous hand Know what was broken in this land The wild does not in cruelty rise It answers deeper, older ties Bridge Listen— The snow does not resent the thaw The storm does not defy a law Clash and silence, fang and cry Are verses in a lullaby You are not master of the field But one more life the earth must shield Respect the rhythm, slow your breath For balance walks with life and death Final Chorus So watch how the wings turn with the wind How even wrath has place within To walk this path is not to reign But stand as part of sun and rain When you can see through tooth and claw You’ll understand the wild’s true law
