Love Lies Bleeding, Dreams Breaking On the Sea

Constant sorrow, longing heart A wounded soul that wishes to help A sickened body that cannot die Hating the physical condition Yearning for the healing staff Wishing I could help, knowing my body is sickly Yearning and hoping my strength returns soon Like a dream upon the sea of stars Hurting the heart when my lover, Doesn't believe my capacities Feeling the crushing pain and sorrow fall down The tears unshed waiting for the final release My love lies bleeding, my heart opened up My sorrowful song enclosed my dreams slowly break on the harsh sea Constantly my hope is battered across the rocks Will it break soon? Wishing that I had the same look, Dreaming the fanciful illusion Wishing to break the incubus curse Always longing for a love that doesn't leave The dragon and the Phoenix are bound in the bamboo cage The dragon song moved the Phoenix heart Soon they loved ensnared When they regain freedom Will their love still be there? Fearing the way forward. Regretting the troubled past When will my heart find peace? When will I be at ease? When will I be free?
