Forsake your concerns
in the night breeze,take the
night train to the horizon
the tracks go on
as long as you dream
on a moon beam remember at 03:45

Forsake your love
for the prince in the city,
you may hold his heart
but yours beats closer and louder

Forsake your devotion
for your sisters
who love you more still
holding hands as they sing tunes of long bygone

Forsake the dagger
they bring you to slay the prince
you cannot speak but
you can kiss one last time
The night is turning
the sea below churning
you slash the night
with the dagger

Crimson dawn bleeds at 06:54
mingling with your blood
you fall crashing against the rocks
as sea-foam
Rising upwards now
you realise that you
always had your voice
