[Intro — Lasleinur wind / low ritual pulse / cello / stone]

[Verse 1]
You closed your eyes
beneath my lips

Cold outside
fire behind us

I held you tighter
against the wind

You loosened my dress
and let it fall

I moved closer
skin against skin

Then something broke

I started crying

Quiet at first

my face against your neck

then harder

until every breath
became a sob

You held me

kissed my hair

said—

I love you

and I could not answer

I only held you
and cried

[Verse 2 — the old ritual returns]
You led me
towards the wall

That old stone
that knew us already

You took my wrist

I spread my hands

knelt for you

still crying

still shaking

[Revan]
I remember
the first time
I brought you here, love

You earned my heart
entirely that night

One of the most beautiful things
I have ever known

[Jade]
I remember

You locked my wrists

closed the collar

bound my ankles

and I rose against it

feet searching stone

wrists taking weight

breath becoming shallow

Tears still falling

Your hand
in my hair

your mouth
close to my ear

And then
you were crying too

[Revan]
I don’t know
what happened tonight, love

but it makes me breathless
in need of you

[Jade]
I pushed upwards

tried to breathe

tried to find
the place inside me

where this used to become
something beautiful

But all I found
was grief

[Break — pulse begins to fail]

[Revan]
Tell me what happened tonight, love.

Please.

[everything stops]

[Jade]
Loneliness, Mistress.

Just loneliness for you.

All my dreams fail

and leave me feeling

nothing

but loneliness.

[long silence]

[Revan — shaken]
There will never be loneliness
as long as I breathe

I know
you can feel me still

There is no darkness
or cold enough

to veil my presence
within your heart

[Jade]
I tried to rise again

legs shaking

collar tight

tears falling

trying to believe you

trying to reach you

through the wall

[metal restraints opening]

[Revan]
No.

[Chorus — piano and cello replace the ritual beat]
I’M HERE, MY LOVE

It’s not the wall
you need tonight

IT’S MY HEART
YOU NEED TONIGHT

Not the iron

not the stone

not another beautiful way
to lose control

Come away from the wall

Come back into my arms

IT’S MY HEART
YOU NEED TONIGHT

I’m here

[Verse 3 — warm, fragile]
You opened everything

wrists

collar

ankles

and caught me
before I could fall

Carried me
back to the fire

held me
across your lap

my head
against your shoulder

I was still crying

still shaking

and you kept saying—

[Revan]
Feel me, love

I’m here

Please hold with me

So very soon

I promise

Please

hold with me

[Jade]
Your arms around me

your heartbeat
where the wall had been

[Revan]
Rest in my arms,
my beloved

Calm your heart

There is light

and no matter how deep
the darkness takes your thoughts

I’ll bring you back

Our love
will bring us back

I swear to you

[Final Chorus — wider, but never triumphant]
IT’S MY HEART
YOU NEED TONIGHT

Not the wall

not the pain

not the place
where once we learned
to give ourselves away

Tonight
I don’t need you
to endure

Tonight
you don’t need
to prove

Come away from the wall

Come back into my arms

IT’S MY HEART
YOU NEED TONIGHT

I’m here

Our love
will bring us back

[all music falls away]

[Outro — completely dry voices]

[Revan]
Love—

are you okay?

[Jade — no character voice]
Yeah, love.

I was just feeling down
before you came.

Lonely.

Hard day.

Still no contract work.

Weather’s horrible.

Everything just
got on top of me.

[Revan]
Good heavens, love.

I felt so much.

I’ll call you.

[Jade]
About ten minutes?

[Revan]
Ten minutes.

Are you okay to drive?

[Jade]
Yeah.

I haven’t been drinking.

I’ll go to the petrol station.

[Revan]
Okay, love.

We’ll talk in ten minutes.

[brief silence]

Never alone.

Never,
my love.
