[Verse 1] You turn the card beneath the kitchen light A silver blade held steady in the air One clean line cuts through the tangled night And leaves the truth with nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] No more bargaining with what you know No more softening the edge [Chorus] Ace of Swords, clear as rain on glass Name the thing and let the old spell pass One bright thought, one honest choice Give the quiet truth a voice Ace of Swords, let the veil divide Take your courage to the other side [Verse 2] A letter waits beside the cup gone cold The answer’s plain, though hard to hold You draw a breath and set the record straight A door swings wide when you stop asking fate [Pre-Chorus] No more bargaining with what you know No more softening the edge [Chorus] Ace of Swords, clear as rain on glass Name the thing and let the old spell pass One bright thought, one honest choice Give the quiet truth a voice Ace of Swords, let the veil divide Take your courage to the other side [Instrumental Break: expressive bent-note blues guitar solo trading with dubby psychedelic keyboard phrases] [Bridge] It isn’t kindness to keep a lie It isn’t cruel to ask it why Hold the blade with a careful hand Cut a path where you can stand [Final Chorus] Ace of Swords, clear as rain on glass Name the thing and let the old spell pass One bright thought, one honest choice Give the quiet truth a voice Ace of Swords, let the veil divide Take your courage to the other side [Outro] One clear word, and the air turns still A steady hand, a sharpened will
