[Verse 1] Your porcelain moon rests in my hand A paper boat crosses a silent lake I hear your name beneath the ice And follow where the blue reeds bend [Chorus] Carry me through the glass garden Where the silver rivers turn If I wake before the morning Keep one small piece of me [Instrumental: expressive solo erhu, sustained emotional notes, dramatic bends and vibrato, building tension] [Verse 2] The old gate opens without a key Red leaves drift through the empty hall You leave your coat beside the stairs As if the house remembers us [Chorus] Carry me through the glass garden Where the silver rivers turn If I wake before the morning Keep one small piece of me [Instrumental: virtuosic solo guzheng, rapid plucking, glissando sweeps, shimmering resonance, rising intensity] [Verse 3] Your tea has cooled beside the window I fold the note you never sent You look at me, and for a moment The far-off rooms come close again [Chorus] Carry me through the glass garden Where the silver rivers turn If I wake before the morning Keep one small piece of me [Instrumental: virtuosic solo dizi flute, breathy expressive tone, rapid ornamentation, soaring Chinese melody, rapidly building tension] [Instrumental: explosive distorted electric guitar takes over; aggressive strumming, powerful riffs, rapid lead runs, bends, slides, harmonics and feedback; massive drums, bass, orchestra and synths build continuously; guitar dominates to the end; one enormous sustained distorted chord and cinematic impact]
