Nymphsong (Beyond the Orchid Veil)

The endless night awakens a stormy sea
From broken hearts do stars yet bleed
Falling as angel feathers — falling free
Cast out from the shores of reality
— for you...

And I thought I heard you whisper my name
I can't wake any more to these rusted chains
So lay with me here and I'll dream you again
Dream you reweaving the light through my veins
— eternally...

Once secret, stolen, afraid of the dark
Now lost — fearless, fragile — alone in our art
I can't quite reach you, I am only a star
But these kisses are yours if you wish me to breathe...
— touch me...

In the dawning light you became one with my dreams
Part of my dreams — waiting for my memories
Of self to dawn, to heal my own wings
And now together can we fly — home...
...please... just open your heart to me...
