Crystal Sleep - Bao Binh
Silent heart in dusty light
Into the night
She made a need from diamond glow
A sleeping flame the world won't know
Her breath was gone, her skin was still
Her beauty danced against all will
He kissed the cold but warm with hope
Through endless dark he blindly groped
Crystal sleep, eternal grace
She lies untouched in starry space
Every whisper, every cry
Echoes through the midnight sky
Crystal sleep, no time to wake
Watch a world with hearts that break
But even if she never stirs
He still believes and love is hers
He built a shrine of shattering light
To keep her close in endless night
Each day he prayed, each path he climbed
To steal her back from death and time
No power strong, no god so wise
Could see the fire behind his eyes
Crystal sleep, untouched by pain
He danced the walk and storm and rain
Every vision, every flame
He burned for her in love's own name
Crystal sleep and silver's that flow through the glass
Flow through years, her blood won't break
And lips won't part, and she lives forever in his heart
In the stillness of the glass
Memories refuse to pass
He would give a thousand lives
Just to see her open eyes
Crystal sleep, the curse remains
Yet nothing breaks devotion's chains
He faded slow, but held on tight
To dreams that glow like candlelight
Crystal sleep, but one last dawn he stayed with her
The wall went long, the world went on
The stars grew dim, for love was cold
As born and died within
