Halo
Intro]
There’s only one planet wearing a crown
But a crown doesn’t make a king
Energy is nothing without a receiver
And the potential for life that it brings
[Verse]
They offered gold
in exchange for something priceless
A contract signed in blood
A poor return on something so precious
There’s no comforter I know of
That can diminish such a loss
They did become celebrities
So that’s some consolation
But as for shining stars?
The train already left that station
[Pre-Chorus]
They thought the light was theirs to trade
A little wealth, a little fame
But no one reads the small print
When they’re signing out their name
Current was in full retreat
The field was an all-time low
A living heart cannot survive
In such hostile conditions
Give the command
“Reverse the flow”
[Chorus]
Halo
Ha….. lo….
A single ring of wonder
Halo
Ha….. lo….
A single ring of light
Halo
Ha…Lo…
The seat you gave away
Was never yours by right
[Verse]
Their seat was vacated
A replacement was negotiated
The light of that soul no longer sings
It’s going round and round
in ever decreasing circles
Held prisoner in Saturns rings
Who kept the living fire burning
When the night said it was gone
Who said the tide was turning
When the charge had almost gone?
[Pre-Chorus]
When the river runs away
And the current leaves the shore
You can trade away your birthright
But you won’t be who you were before
[Chorus]
Halo
Ha….. lo….
A single ring of wonder
Halo
Ha….. lo….
A single ring of light
Halo
Ha…Lo…
The seat you gave away
Was never yours by right
{outro]
A star can lose its signal
While the audience applauds the flames
“Look what you have gained here
Look how far above you’ve flown”
But a gilded cage is still a cage
When the light inside has gone
Halo
Ha... Lo…
