[Intro- ethereal] It is written It is waiting It is written It is waiting [Verse 1] In the marble air, no footsteps sound Just paper ghosts drifting down Names like smoke beneath the door Ink that stains but says no more Curtains sewn with threads of gold Hands that buy what can’t be sold Mirrors turned against the wall So nothing answers when we call [Pre-Chorus] Quiet rooms remember everything Even what the silence hides [Chorus 1] The scale still holds the weight of feathers Even when the storm denies Black bars crawl across the letters But they cannot blind its eyes Sweeping stains of ink like weather Try to swallow what survives But the scale still holds forever It remembers what they hide [Verse 2] Private flights without a sky Empty seats that testify Signals blink but no one hears Static fed to waiting ears Velvet ropes and quiet trades Promises in shadow made But the floor beneath their feet Keeps a record in the heat [Pre-Chorus] Stone and time don’t lose their nerve They only wait for hands to slip [Chorus 2 – darker variant] The scale still holds the weight of feathers Even when the storm denies Blackened veins across the record But they cannot cauterize Every word they tried to sever Every truth they sterilize Still returns to claim its measure Still returns to testify [Bridge – stripped down, intimate] No crown can tilt the balance long No throne can silence what is wrong No vault can keep the turning tide No mask survives the other side Every shadow casts a shape Every silence leaves a trace Every empire made of glass Feels the moment when it cracks [Final Chorus – unredacted variant, gradual crescendo] The scale still holds the weight of feathers Even as the black bars fade All the words they tried to bury Rise unbroken, unafraid Sweeping stains that masked the record Run like rain and fall away Now the page restores its memory Name by name, in open day No hand can halt the closing measure No shadow keeps its borrowed throne What was hidden stands revealed now Every silence overthrown [Outro – minimal, mantra-like] Unredacted Unforgotten Unredacted Now made known The scale remembers The scale remembers It is written It is waiting
