0:00 – 1:10 Rest for Intro & Verse 1
Intro:
I will rise now and go about the city.
In the street's broadways I seek,
Him whom my soul loveth.
Verse 1:
Went over the sea. What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers,
A hundred emerald cities.
And the hand of the watchman in the night sky,
Points to my beloved, a knight in crystal armor.

Verse 2:
And I tried to hold him,
I tried for the creed,
To make a suit of colors,
To stop the blinding mirrors.
Sew a cape of red and gold,
Stifle up the being.
With the perfect armor,
With the perfect dream.

Verse 3:
And with two suns spinning,
At two different speeds,
Was born a hot white diamond,
Burning through the rainbow.
Flames fell into orbit,
To hold eternally,
Two heavenly spirits,
That just wouldn't seem.
