the day was harsh
the day was wrong
the day would not let go
the pain was sharp
the wound would not heal
the aching would not quell

ensapphired midnight
a forest of stars
fall into emerald sleep
then I will sing you my silent song
deep in emerald sleep

the door would not close
the darkness got in
there was nowhere to turn
when the walls came down
and the heroes had fled

the roar, the echo
the storms, the thorns
you fly, you fight, you freeze
the clamor, the thunder
the danger, the fear
I can hear you

ensapphired midnight…

leave the bell unrung
leave the letter unread
leave the words unspoken
let fallen angels cry
turn your eyes to the starlit sky
the stars are your kin
your heart is not alone

ensapphired midnight…
