Haunted by What Could Almost Exist

A third (and supposedly last) version of putting the lyrics -- first used with "silken shadows" and then "therapy of love" -- to some now extra soft and folky arrangement.

The Way it Was

“Home of the Brave” is a heartfelt Veterans Day tribute — an emotional anthem honoring the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of all who have served. With powerful vocals, cinematic strings, and a slow-building rock pulse, this song stands as a salute to every veteran who carried the weight so we could stand free.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Under folded flags and golden skies,
Names we whisper, hearts that rise.
Every tear on marble stone,
Tells a story of those gone home.

[Pre-Chorus]
They stood in the storm when the light was gone,
So we could wake to a freer dawn.

[Chorus]
You carried the weight so we could stand free,
Fought through the fire for our liberty.
The stars still shine where your courage lay —
You made this the home,
The home of the brave.

[Verse 2]
Letters faded, but love remains,
Through battlefields and pouring rain.
Every heartbeat echoes still,
Through the valley, over the hill.

[Bridge]
And when the flag waves high in the wind,
We remember where freedom begins.
Not in words, but in the lives you gave —
Your spirit lives on,
In the home of the brave.

[Final Chorus]
You carried the weight so we could stand free,
Fought through the fire for our liberty.
The stars still shine where your courage lay —
You made this the home,
Forever the home,
The home of the brave.

Home of the Brave

End Of The Runway

This tune and its lyrics are inspired by an article from: THE NEXT Whole Earth Catalog, 1980, p588:

Chuang Tzu (399-295 BC) lived 200 years after Lao Tzu. Using parables and anecdotes, allegory and paradox, he set forth the early ideas of what was to become Taoism. Central in these is the belief that only by understanding Tao (the Way of Nature) and dwelling in its unity can man achieve true happiness and be truly free, in both life and death. 
To him, nature is not only spontaneity but nature is a state of constant flux and incessant transformation. This is the universal process that binds all things into one, equalizing all things and all opinions. The pure man makes this oneness his eternal abode, in which he becomes a "companion" of Nature and does not attempt to interfere with it by imposing the way of man on it. His goal is absolute spiritual emancipation and peace, to be achieved through knowing the capacity and limitations of one's own nature, nourishing it, and adapting to the universal process of transformation. He abandons selfishness of all descriptions, be it fame, wealth, bias or subjectivity. Having attained enlightenment through the light of Nature, he moves into the realm of "great knowledge" and "profound virtue."

It's my understanding that the author Frank Herbert characterised his Bene Gesserit order of priestesses for his science fiction book Dune on a known Tibetan sisterhood who gained immortality from certain Taoist practises, including sacred Tantric sex.  Certainly, he took many ideas from their texts, such as the prana bindu practises and the Sabda. 

This Sisterhood's teachings are only remembered today in the secret order of the White Tigresses in Taiwan. Gesserit is an anagram of Tigeress. Herbert's characterisation of them as sadistic sorceresses was, imho, just a product of typical Jungian fears  some men have about female power.
