Through the valleys of shadow where longing enthrones its reign

Through the valleys of shadow where longing enthrones its reign, I have come to you, in search of the elixir of forgetfulness' gain, Heart healer, mend my suffering with a phoneme's mend, Banish the storm of feelings, that prison of mourning without end. At your altar of blood and crystal, I have taken my vow, Please offer me a mystical potion, or a talisman time does not allow, To freeze my feelings, to heal my wounds profound, With your alchemy, unbind my heart from this silent tune's bound. Caressed by the weeping moon and the wind that whispers the night's secret core, My heart prays for a transmutation, a transformation to soar, Change my blood with ambrosia, cleanse my memory so sore, To forget the amorous dance of the stars, and the dawn's grieving lore. Beneath your alchemical shield, with all your divine tools, Remove me from the obsession of love, and encase my soul in crystal's pools, So that never again shall I feel those wandering butterflies' cruel schools, And thus, with an immune heart, may I renew like a phoenix, reborn from pain's ashes, abides by no rules.
