[00:04.580] I once loved a girl, her skin it was bronze.
[00:12.820] With the innocence of a lamb, she was gentle like a fawn.
[00:19.480] I courted her proudly but now she is gone,
[00:26.390] Gone as the season she's taken.
[00:41.240] Through young summer's breeze, i stole her away
[00:45.390] From her mother and sister, though close did they stay.
[00:54.590] Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day,
[01:00.560] With strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us.
[01:16.050] Of the two sisters, i loved the young.
[01:23.880] With sensitive instincts, she was the creative one.
[01:31.680] The constant scapegoat, she was easily undone
[01:39.400] By the jealousy of others around her.
[01:49.060] For her parasite sister, i had no respect,
[01:58.040] Bound by her boredom, her pride to protect.
[02:05.410] Countless visions of the other she'd reflect
[02:12.400] As a crutch for her scenes and her society.
[02:30.880] Myself, for what i did, i cannot be excused,
[02:35.210] The changes i was going through can't even be used,
[02:44.030] For the lies that i told her in hopes not to lose
[02:50.010] The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime.
[02:59.840] With unknown consciousness, i possessed in my grip
[03:07.640] A magnificent mantelpiece, though its heart being chipped,
[03:16.270] Noticing not that i'd already slipped
[03:22.040] To a sin of love's false security.
[03:41.090] From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace,
[03:41.670] Answers of emptiness, voice vacancies,
[03:48.020] Till the tombstones of damage read no questions but, please,
[04:01.550] What's wrong and what's exactly the matter?
[04:10.290] And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen,
[04:16.730] The timeless explosion of fantasy's dream.
[04:25.530] At the peak of the night, the king and the queen
[04:32.240] Tumbled all down into pieces.
[04:45.600] the tragic figure! her sister did shout,
[04:50.810] leave her alone, god damn you, get out!And i in my armor, turning about
[05:03.920] And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness.
[05:16.520] Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
[05:24.700] Her sister and i in a screaming battleground.
[05:31.380] And she in between, the victim of sound,
[05:37.390] Soon shattered as a child 'neath her shadows.
[05:56.600] All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight.
[06:03.690] I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight.
[06:06.950] My mind it was mangled, i ran into the night
[06:13.460] Leaving all of love's ashes behind me.
[06:27.590] The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet.
[06:34.080] The words to say i'm sorry, i haven't found yet.
[06:41.520] I think of her often and hope whoever she's met
[06:50.870] Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
[07:30.620] Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me,
[07:37.030] how good, how good does it feel to be free?
[07:43.870] And i answer them most mysteriously,
[07:54.430] are birds free from the chains of the skyway?
