This is the second set of lyrics I've been working on. The last set were quite abstract, i think these are more refined they're sort of built around the concept of two people feuding until they're the only ones left.
The idea that everything is expendable to get the upper hand (and thus provoke retaliation, sustaining the connection) I think shares a very close relation to love in that for true love anything should be sacrificed to maintain the connection that feeds the love.
The song's narrator considers himself the black feather and his enemy the white feather.
White Feather v1.0
Oh White Feather, please blow away
you cross me once, that's shame on you
you cross me twice, the shame's on me
open casket, is not for you
Because I'm coming, for your baby, in the night I'm, gonna take him
And this was all avoidable, was all avoidable
X

X
You feel the wrath, of machine guns
everyone's dead, except for us
as you crept out, in the darkness, little realised, that i followed
And this was all avoidable, was all avoidable
X

Here's the music to go with it. In working out the phrasing/lyrics i think i've truncated the bridge but left the chorus as it was. Which means there's a dead space of about two bars. Oh well.
