Volume 2 - Side 2 - Light as a Feather

from Royal & V​ä​r vs. the Sky Kingdom by Royal Holland

/

about

And so it is the end. Who can really say what happened, although I can tell you that most of this tale is true. Royal is able to travel to the edge of all time and space to confront Ma'at the only one who has kept Royal from Vär, and for no reason but to understand suffering.

Royal submits to the test of the scale as does Vär, and as only love can do the wounds of time are healed and the Sky Kingdom is restored It's rightful Queen and King now presiding for all of time. Spreading love and finding kindness and beauty forever as they travel the vast expanse.

lyrics

"Light as a feather"

Royal and the Valkyrie Choir:
Well now it seems we're near the end
As i teeter on this precipice
Preparing for the final test
I feel the glowing prize

Draw nearer to me and I feel
The weightless feeling all too real
Of falling into the ethereal love that's
Beaming from your eyes

"Ma'at"

Ma'at:
Let's see what your offering
I'm looking for those human things
Like the dreams you hide and the pain inside and all the heartbreak it brings

I hunger for something it's hard to explain
I tried to ignore it and still it remains
And as you can see I'm a different thing
So now let's see the gifts you bring
To offer me so I might now what it's like to be alive
And if you don't then I'll just make you live another life

Royal and the Valkyrie Choir:
You're never gonna steal these dreams
There will be no burnt offerings
And so I'll just sing the refrain
And sing it again, sing it again

Listen to me you fraudulent being
I will just tell you what I am seeing
Is what I believe and none in between and
The reason I'm here is a hell of a thing

I thought that you had stolen something
But now I realize, you never even cared at all

You're never gonna steal these dreams
There will be no burnt offerings
And so I'll just sing the refrain
And sing it again, sing it again

Ma'at:
Give them to me now!

"Le Juge Penitent"

Royal:
Well, I was kind at times
And others I stumbled around blind
Groping for truth and heat and light
Hoping for love and searching the night

On this journey you've watched me through
So do I even needed to say a thing to prove
Prove I was worthy, worthy to be
Worthy to be and to believe the kingdom to be true

And to believe, I had found the greatest clue and that it lies
Inside the magic in our minds and we clever ones
Embrace and then we find that our love gives everything it's lights
And our love will last until the end of time
When we have to leave this mystery behind
[Redacted]

The Sky Kingdom has chosen it's new Queen
It is you my love and I will be your King
And it's your song forever we will sing.

"Queen Vär"

Royal:
Do you remember that June night, we walked in the moonlight that was pregnant with time
The universe had called us to show that it had taught us of magic sublime
The river lined with tiny floating willow wisps sacredly
The birds aligned deciding then to sing a different song
Your body calling out to the void as you spoke their names
Your mind entranced in the workings of the spell, that's what you explained

You speak their names and then they burst into the cloudy night
Our love it seems is all we need to set the ages right

There she lay as if in her watery grave
The sun painted her skin in dazzling stars; a nigh blinding array
I knelt before her surrounded by the secrets that we share
I kissed her on the lips and woke her from her eternal slumber there

And then as we sailed the sky keeping our eyes availed to the clouds and shaodw buildings
First a glint in your eye, you pointed and said "There she is now"
We stood with breath bated.

Finally in darkness and light Ardea appeared at the exact right time
She soared under our feet, and made us complete
The Eternal Return of the stardust inside.

"The Sky Kingdom"

Royal:
When I sit down and think of things
My mind floats down in tighter rings
Like falcons soar and bluebird sings
But all I see and hear is you

The magic spell behind your eyes
Your golden heart a sacred prize
Like Vishnu you've been glorified
But all of this holds true

Now this adventure's said and done
I can't wait for another one
But, now that we have found our home
Let's never ever part

We'll sail the sky and pass through time
And find whatever we can find
THat's beautiful and also kind
And then we'll just restart
