In gardens where the lanterns fade

[Verse I] In gardens where the lanterns fade, I once beheld the world in shade. A brilliance fell, too bright to bear— And left me lost in empty air. [Pre-Chorus] Yet still I hear thy voice, so near, A memory sung when night is clear. [Chorus] Though blind to light, I see through thee, A sky once lost returns to me. Thy laughter lingers, sweet, profound— A rose may bloom though night surrounds. [Verse II] The years in silence chained my breath, Each hour a dream, each step near death. But in my heart thy presence stayed, A fragile hope that never frayed. [Pre-Chorus] If thou recall, if thou art kind, Then guide me now though I am blind. [Chorus] Though blind to light, I see through thee, A sky once lost returns to me. Thy hand may steady where I fall, And I shall rise, though shadows call. [Bridge] Cerulean fire, searing flame, It took my sight, yet left thy name. Through endless dark, thy memory sings, And carries me on unseen wings. [Final Chorus] Though blind to light, I see through thee, A sky once lost returns to me. No night shall steal, no fate deny, The bond that blooms though stars may die. [Outro] In silence deep, in shadows true… My heart shall always turn to you.
