about

An alchemical allegory of a dear friend's trials.

lyrics

You kept your heart
inside a glass
a vessel meant to break in time
I saw too late
the opus failed
and in a way the fault was mine

I watched in the greatest dismay
as the colors fade to grey
but your core is sapphire blue
is that not a beauty in itself?

I'll see you shine one day
I coat myself in smoke
I'll see the change in you
even if the change will kill me.

Hieroglyphs
and mysteries
seem to be all that they can see
Is the cipher needed here?
can you see the change in her?

Toxic tears shed by dragon eyes
under hammers is where you lie
but if you can weather more
then you will see a heart of gold

utter the mantra "it can be salvaged"
the work can only be done with fate
I tried to keep the peace so long
the idea of strife exists no more.
