[Verse] I watched her dance in mortal light Fragile flame against the night Her laugh A song that pierced my core But I’m the shadow she’d abhor [Prechorus] A god A ghost A thief of breath How could she love the face of Death [Chorus] Tears of loneliness fall unseen Through the cracks of what has been I reach I ache But cannot stay For love must bloom Then fade away Beneath the veil I mourn I pray [Verse 2] Her hands like whispers Warm and slight Mine cold as winter’s endless fight I stood and watched her fleeting years A cursed immortal drowned in tears [Prechorus] To touch her would undo her soul I guard her life Yet pay the toll [Chorus] Tears of loneliness fall unseen Through the cracks of what has been I reach I ache But cannot stay For love must bloom Then fade away Beneath the veil I mourn I pray
