- Break Not a Flower Nor Inscribe a Stone -

I feel it so strongly deep inside the cry of your heart It but echoes my souls endless fear of being apart Use your strength to go on with life even though it is hard Where is life’s joy when treated with such reckless disregard? I wonder can I ever free you from this endless pain? My body and soul are laden with such cold heavy chain Lead me through the maze of your mind, let me break down the wall The donjon has been built of adamant and shall not fall! I will rend the dark veil and bright starlight will fill your soul The battlements long secure crumble, your love makes me whole!
