Let Babylon Burn — No Single Star

One candle...
Cyaan speak for dawn
Nor one cold grave declare the summer gone
A quiet face may hide a kingdom torn
And silence sometimes wears a crown of thorns
The eye sees bark, but never sees the root
It tastes the fruit...
But knows not what it grew through
Dem see one scar and swear dem know the heart
But heaven never gave the whole sky
To one star
No single star can answer for the night
No single wound
Can tell what lived before the knife
Love nah close the door.
Love leaves a little air
What truly shelters never makes a soul
Smaller to stay there
Some names burn brighter when the voice goes still
Some absence walks where no returning will
Two souls beneath the selfsame moon may ache
Though oceans sleep between the paths they take
Not every leaving means the heart turned cold
Not every hand was fashioned fi hold
Some souls are lent for only part of the way
Then vanish from the seat
Yet somehow never leave the day
Gold pon a chain still carries iron's weight
A gentle cage still teaches wings to wait
And peace bought cheap with silence as the price
Is fear dressed clean and calling itself nice
No branch fi break to fit another wall
No soul fi bow to make another tall
Better the wound that truth was brave enough to give
Than sleep without chains
And never truly live
No single star can answer for the night
No single scar can swallow all the light
Some leave the carriage.
Some remain till dawn
But an empty seat nah mean
The journey wrong
What the hand releases
The heart may yet carry
And what the night has taken
The stars sometimes bury
No ledger in heaven counts who stayed
Or who went far
The sky was always greater
Than the star
