The Edge Of Dawn

Reach for my hand
I'll soar away
Into the dawn
Oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays

Faint lights pass through colored glass
In this beloved place
Silver shines, the world dines
A smile on each face
As joy surrounds, comfort abounds
And I can feel I'm breaking free
For just this moment lost in time
I am finally me

Yet still I hide
Behind this mask that I have become
My blackened heart
Scorched by flames, a force I can't run from

I look to you
Like a red rose
Seeking the Sun
No matter where it goes
I long to stay
Where the light dwells
To guard against the cold
That I know so well

As the rain falls on the path
I chase your shadow
I don't feel a single drop
Or the ground below
Then you turn to me and I
Stop before I know
And the lie upon my lips
I let it go

Cross my heart
Making vows I know will be betrayed
A sad girl's pleas
Live only for a breath and then they fade

My dearest wish is that you'll know
These tender thought that only seem to grow
They are as snow, melting away
Yet seeking your warmth if only for a day

The blue moonlight
Cuts across our sight
As pure and clear as a ringing bell
Reaching for us in the night
As the wind calms my thoughts
I held strong on this terrace
I feel at peace
Carried away by the wind's song

Open the door
And walk away
Never give in
To the call of yesterday
Memories that made
Those days sublime
These ruined halls entomb
Stolen time

Reach for my hand
I'll soar away
Into the dawn
Oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
