(Verse 1)
The stone is cold beneath my palm, the heartbeat slow and deep
A secret kept in ancient scales while all the kingdoms sleep
We are the shadow in the clouds, the flicker in the haze
Two souls bound by a single breath in a world of burning days
You’re smaller than the legends told, but fiercer than the gale
Between your wings, the gravity of man begins to fail.
(Pre-Chorus)
They fight for dirt, they bleed for gold, they die for hollow names
But we have traded stable ground for hunger and for flames
The horizon is a silver thread that sews the night to day
And every chain they forged for us just melts and falls away.
(Chorus)
Ask the sky why we don’t look down
Ask the wind where we lost the crown
Above the thunder, past the reach of every mortal lie
If you want to know the weight of salt, then ask the sea
But if you want to know what’s left of me...
Ask the sky.
(Verse 2)
Your dravy skin is starlight turned to leather and to bone
The only throne I’ll ever need is skin and wind and stone
Below us, cities look like scars upon a silent face
They’ll never know the lonely peace of this forbidden space
They call us monsters, call us gods, but we are neither one
Just two drifters chasing shadows till the setting of the sun.
(Bridge)
Is it noble to be distant? Is it cruel to be so free?
When the world is just a map laid out for you and me?
We don’t owe them our fire, we don’t owe them our flight
We are just the sparks that vanished in the coming of the night.
(Chorus)
Ask the sky why we don’t look down
Ask the wind where we lost the crown
Above the thunder, past the reach of every mortal lie
If you want to know the weight of salt, then ask the sea
But if you want to know what’s left of me...
Ask the sky.
(Outro)
The air is thinning now...
Ask the sky...
(We’re not coming back...)
(We’re not coming down...)
Just ask the sky.
