Written about a dear friend in the midst of alchemical transformation.
lyrics
You kept your heart inside a glass
A vessel meant to break in time
I saw too late the opus failed
And in a way the fault was mine
I watched in the greatest dismay
As the colors fade to grey
But your core is sapphire blue
Is that not beauty in itself?
Utter the mantra, It can be salvaged.
The work can only be done with faith
Keep the peace so long
The idea of strife exists no more
** Can’t hold you for long
(I’ll see you shine one day)
My strength is almost gone
(coat myself in smoke)
(I’ll see the change in you)
(Even if the change will kill me)
Hieroglyphs and mysteries
Seem to be all they can see
Is the cipher needed here?
Can you see the change in her?
Toxic tears shed by dragon eyes
Under hammers is where you lie
But if you can weather more,
Then will you see a heart of gold
