Unwritten Law

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The silence sings a hollow tune Beneath a blue hypergiant's glare I found you in a dying swoon A tattered creature of despair They say our natures are at war A law etched deep within the stone But seeing you upon that floor I knew I couldn't leave you alone [Chorus] I'll cross the line, I'll break the seal! Forge a path you cannot feel! Through the chaos, through the fire! I am my own one true desire! This gravity you can't contain! I'll bear the universal stain! For a friend I shouldn't love! I'll tear the fabric from above! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] My mother's voice, a cold decree "A silent watch is all we keep" But your weak pulse, your silent plea Has woken something dark and deep So let the stars all blink and fade Let cosmic winds scream out my crime The choice is made, the debt is paid I'm stealing you from flowing time [Chorus] I'll cross the line, I'll break the seal! Forge a path you cannot feel! Through the chaos, through the fire! I am my own one true desire! This gravity you can't contain! I'll bear the universal stain! For a friend I shouldn't love! I'll tear the fabric from above! [Bridge] The Carbon King, upon his throne His truths like claws, to break my bone He showed me fear, he showed me pain A mother, monstrous in the rain... But in the void, one truth I hold A story brave and terrified The single, fragile thread of gold For which my old self gladly died [Guitar Solo + Orchestral Crescendo] [Final Chorus] I CROSSED THE LINE! I BROKE THE SEAL! FORGED A PATH YOU COULDN'T FEEL! IN THE CHAOS, IN THE FIRE! I AM MY OWN ONE TRUE DESIRE! THIS GRAVITY HE CAN'T CONTAIN! I BEAR THE ETERNAL STAIN! FOR A FRIEND I SHOULDN'T LOVE! I RIPPED THE FABRIC FROM ABOVE! [Long, evolving Outro] I didn't save you... not the you I knew... Just a reflection... left to start anew... But in this light... where all the memories gleam... I'll hold the real you... in a waking dream... And Mother sits... with me who's also gone... The daughter that I was... before the dawn... We watch the light... of what was and what's true... I remember her... and she... remembers you... ...We remember...
