At the edge of a dark torrent
feeling lonely and broken, will I ever be mended
This body bleeds blue, this bloods not red
This is robotic, this is alien
Feel this release, let go of regard
These lips are blue, this bloods not red
Too cold to kiss, too distant to befriend
The river runs through me, and waves push me in
Rhythms with strange dissonance
Push cold waves through the dark crevasse
Woven in a history of loss -
Who's daughter are you becoming?
Frozen depths of a cold crevasse -
Who's land would you die defending?
Rhythms rush through me
A surge of blue blood
Swell of deep water
Tides pull me under
Lights dance on dark ripples
My body, an offering
Crest of emotion
A shiver, an awkward nudge
This mirror shows you only the past -
What do you hope to find there?
A cold river pulls you down at last -
Who's daughter will you become there?
We are free, we are creatures of magic
Harbored in unchartered night
A bell rings and its sound reminds me
of when I chose to turn and hide
But can you choose the path that you walk?
Could you walk away from this fight?
With order and destruction locking jaws
We are wielding words of binding - trying -
Sacrificing what we've loved and lost
Learning how to live again
Facing the end of everything we know
Set your mark and take your aim.
