Note: It helps if you listen to the song while you read this.

I came here by day

But I left here in darkness

And found you on the way

Now, it is silver and silent.

It is silver and cold

He stared into the night sky. He knew when she was gone he felt it the moment she had left him and abandoned the Feudal Era. He was torn in two. He knew that he had to make a choice and he hurt the people who had loved him.

Light, like a flutter of wings

Feel your hollow voice rushing into me

As you're longing to sing

So I will paint you in silver

I will wrap you in cold

He knew that she had loved him. And he had felt it was his right. She was her reincarnation after all. But she was different from her. She had her own special aura and in ways was stronger. But he thought that he would tame and bend her wild spirit to his will. And he had broken her. When he left her, her heart was shattered. For years she had called and sang for him to notice her. And he had just used her and threw her away like a rag doll.

I will lift up your voice as I sink.

Cold in life's throws.

I'll fall asleep for you

I only ask you turn away

I only ask you turn away as they seep into me,

Oh, my, beautiful one

She had returned to her era with silver tears glistening on marble cheeks that had frozen into a mask of grief. She had turned and stung him with angry last words, even as she slowly sank into the black sea of despair that had threatened to engulf her for months. And she had finally done the one thing that had finally brought her to his attention.

You, in somber resplendence, I hold

Your sins into me

Oh, my beautiful one, now

Your sins into me

As rapturous voice escapes,

I will tremble a prayer and beg for forgiveness

Your sins into me my beautiful into me

She was gone forever. Oh he was happy with her. But she was clay and she was alive. Full of warmth. And her presence, her shining light, was gone. There was never going to be one like her again. She brightened everyone's life. She had soothed his inner demon, and he was comforted by her. And she had robbed him of her comfort. Inexplicably, he felt anger fill him.

You, in somber resplendence, I hold

Your sins into me

Oh, my beautiful one, now

Your sins into me

As rapturous voice escapes,

I will tremble a prayer and beg for forgiveness

Your sins into me my beautiful into me
