Truth’s Living Flame

Where the river meets the stone

Finding quiet on my own

Speak now, let

the

truth be

known

Walk through the mist in the valley below

Looking for signs that the compass will show Heavy the chest when

the promises break

I carry the road for my family's sake

They whisper in riddles,

they gamble the flame But the spirit of truth doesn't change with

a name

All of the masks are beginning to fall

Standing upright as I answer the call

Open the gate and let clarity reign

The spirit of truth cuts right through the storm

Holding me steady,

keeping me warm (ohhh)

No more running through the dark alone

Every foundation is carved into stone

I measured the distance from fear to the dawn

Found out the pretenders have already gone

Left with the soil and the salt on my face

Turning the sorrow to boundless grace

Every false word blown away by the breeze Finally falling right down

to my knees

Strip away pride, let the clarity heal

Nothing remains but the way that we feel (yeah)

Breathe it in deep,

let the heavy dust clear

Love is the only thing standing right here

The spirit of truth cuts right through the storm

Holding me steady,

keeping me warm

(yeah,

keeping me warm) No more running through the dark alone

Every foundation is carved into stone

(carved into stone!)

In the silence of the dawn (ahhhh) The spirit of truth remains
