Not ours. No, no, Kalderon had no knowledge of it… Of all the things to see... we… watched as their forces tore through it like they’d found something secret, a weapon? Or he just wanted to BURN his name into its hull. The husk? It fell. All seven parts of it. [Verse 1] But that's not all, we detected a life-sign on the surface as this dead thing fell! A beautiful face, with red eyes An emberglow, As if the night calls, calls her home, And takes her down below. [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, Empress, what is it you see? Is she another you Or something more? (ohhhhhhh!)

[Verse 4] And when I found them kneeling Laughing through their tears Their emerald grief was spilling down Like rivers lost for years [build] [Chorus] Fallen, from the sky, falling, from her eyes Fall and say goodbye These Seven Emerald Tears are all we have to cry They're all we have to cry (we have to cry, we have to cry, we have to cry) [interlude] (ohhhhhhhhh) (ahhhhhhhhh) [Narrative Bridge: Sprechgesang, tutti, drums, piano and bass] A beautiful woman with midnight blue skin, blood red eyes, and matte black hair, war's prize is not won today, her face is as ageless as the Empress but haunted by the ghost of her friend, she looks up at the Empress hair swirling in delight, “Princess?” she says, startled with a voice as ventablack liquid, “Please protect me, my Princess,” she says as the tattoos on her legs, and back, and arms, and hands and neck and face light up in a miasma of opalescence… [Flourish: melodic guitar lick] [interlude] The Empress turned Her voice low and bright, This is Jade she said, [clean vocals] and they laughed on and on into the night [Flourish: melodic guitar lick] [Refrain: vocals, female, emotional] Fallen, from the sky, falling, from her eyes Fall and say goodbye These Seven Emerald Tears are all we have to cry (we have to cry, we have to cry, we have to cry) [build] [instrumental break: melodic lead guitar, long sustained notes, bends, slides, arpeggiated] [bridge: melismatic] These Seven Emerald Tears Ohhh they're all Oh yes, they're all All we have to cry-ee-eye-eee-eye!
